* ci: Pre-release workflows (#9366)
In preparation for the v0.37 release, this PR updates:
1. The [release guidelines](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/thane/pre-release-workflows/RELEASES.md#pre-releases) regarding alpha and beta versions, as well as release candidates.
2. The GitHub workflows to build all 3 kinds of pre-releases for:
1. Docker images
2. Binaries (I'm still not 100% sure whether this is necessary, but it does act as a clear signal to users that a pre-release is available, and pre-built binaries could be useful for people running testnets who don't use Docker)
3. The Goreleaser config to auto-detect whether a tag is a pre-release and mark it as such as the release is created on GitHub.

Import the readme, contributing guidelines, code of conduct, security
guide and releases guide. Format all of these documents, replacing
references to `master` by references to `main`, and use Markdown link
references instead of embedded links wherever it improves legibility.
