Subject: [PATCH] fix(install): alpha/beta self-update actually finds a real
 release now

Direct hotfix to master (like the earlier `ostp setup` wizard fix) - users
curl install.sh live from this branch's raw URL for every self-update, so
this can't wait for the normal alpha->beta->master promotion.

Master's install.sh still had the pre-rename "pre-release" branch check
(the alpha->beta rename landed on alpha/beta after this file's last direct
hotfix, never reaching master) AND the deeper bug: ostp update -b alpha/-b
beta tried to download a GitHub Release literally tagged "alpha"/"beta".
No such tag has ever existed - gha.ps1 cuts a fresh VERSIONED tag every
release (v0.4.2-beta.4, v0.4.3-alpha.2, ...) - so -b beta fell through to
the stable-release path entirely unnoticed (silently "succeeding" with the
wrong, older version) while -b alpha 404'd outright.

Now queries the full /releases list (newest first, unlike /releases/latest
which only ever returns the newest non-prerelease) and takes the first
tag_name containing "-alpha"/"-beta". Brings master to parity with alpha's
same fix.
