Add a new option for the user to opt-in for getting pre-release software. When turned on, Sparkle will accept a new "prerelease" channel for updates. This feature only works in Sparkle 2, which means legacy binaries (10.9-10.12) which use Sparkle 1 won't get this. It's possible to implement this for Sparkle 1 but we would need to do so in a completely different (and more annoying) manner of using two separate appcast XML files and switch among them. Given the niche nature of legacy binaries, this is not worth doing. The setting is in the Advanced settings pane because the pre-release builds aren't guaranteed to be stable or well-tested, so we don't want users to turn it on unless they looked for it. For terminology, went back and forth on "beta", "preview", "pre-release", and eventually settled on "pre-release" builds which also lines up with GitHub Release's convention.
