Fixes #238
Advantages are cleaner GHA configuration files and when the future Python version is finally released all releases will be picked up automatically, so packages don't need any immediate configuration changes.
This change will insert the flag
allow-prereleases
into other Python versions as well because I didn't see a way to test for the specific version on the Jinja side. The matrix is only interpreted on the GHA side during execution. But this is safe - a prerelease will only ever be selected if there is no normal release.
