Previously all github releases created by the release tooling tagged
releases as `latest`. Instead releases which are created for the `next`
tag on NPM should be tagged as `prerelease` for github.

Clearing the cached bazel outputs before building the artifacts for
publishing prevents an intermittent error found when the version is
cached between publishes.

When fetch is run in normal mode, the `git-fetch-pack` plumbing command
outputs progress to stderr. Since this is unnecessary progress
information for ng-dev usages, it should be suppressed instead.

Rather than running ng-dev via ts-node, going forward ng-dev is generated and run
locally via node. Additionally, the generated file is tested on each commit to
ensure that the local generated version stays up to date.

Creates a tool for staging and publishing releases as per the
new branching and versioning that has been outlined in the following
document. The tool is intended to be used across the organization to
ensure consistent branching/versioning and labeling:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/197kVillDwx-RZtSVOBtPb4BBIAw0E9RT3q3v6DZkykU/edit#heading=h.s3qlps8f4zq7dd
The tool implements the actions as outlined in the following
initial plan: https://hackmd.io/2Le8leq0S6G_R5VEVTNK9A.
The implementation slightly diverged in so far that it performs
staging and publishing together so that releasing is a single
convenient command. In case of errors for which re-running the
full command is not sufficient, we want to consider adding
recover functionality. e.g. when the staging completed, but the
actual NPM publishing aborted unexpectedly due to build errors.
