Previously, our process included running the pre-check script before
releasing. With our new publishing process this was dropped. This
change adds in automatically executing this check before publish for
both next and latest
PR Close#36527
Currently with the release of "8.0.0-beta.10", the Bazel npm packag accidentally
was stamped with an incorrect version placeholder: `8.0.0-beta.10+1.sha-a28b3e3`.
This can happen because the placeholder is based on latest tag that matches the
Semver format. e.g. if `HEAD` equals to the commit that has the latest tag, the
version name will be correct and refer to the tag name (e.g. `8.0.0-beta.10`). Though
if the latest commit is not tagged with the most recent tag, the version
name will also include the SHA of the commit (e.g. `8.0.0-beta.10+1.sha-a28b3e3`).
We can ensure that we don't accidentally release versions from a more recent commit
that shouldn't be part of the release by adding a pre-release check that ensures that
the `BUILD_SCM_VERSION` Bazel status variable matches the expected version format.
