os-release: change RELEASE_TYPE value from 'pre-release' to 'development'

The point was made on https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2024/08/msg00005.html
that 'pre-release sounds' like an RC candidate, ie, something that will change
very slightly in the released version. But this is not necessarily the case
for example at the beginnig of a Fedora Rawhide or Debian Testing release cycle,
so change it to a more generic 'development'
