Release drafter should ignore prerelease releases when drafting changelog

See original GitHub issue

Somewhat related to #614

I ran into an issue where someone had manually released a draft as prerelease, but the subsequently generated draft did not include the commits from the last stable release.

Presumably this is not intentional, but before I start working on this I’d like to make sure.

Thanks!

TBH, by definition a pre-release is an incomplete release, so it should not count as being “last release”. I would make the drafting only count releases and keep it like this by default, not even a need to configure that. Still, is not up to me to decide this.

@jetersen Would you accept backporting this change as listed by @qcasey?

Obviously I’m not @jetersen, but having some experience with this project (and that this issue has not been rejected), I believe this patch would be accepted with some degree of enthusiasm (at least from me!).

The only alteration I would request is to make this setting configurable, but other than that I believe this is a very reasonable way to proceed. Thanks in advance!
