VS Code extension can do
[pre-releases](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#prerelease-extensions).
This would make it easier to test unreleased version of the extension
(thanks @ds300 [for the
suggestion](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/pull/3905#pullrequestreview-2122897351))
Tried the pre-release option manually, to see how it works:

There's a drawback in that we need to update version even for
pre-releases as they do not support other versioning schemes atm. I
decided to go with patch versions for pre-releases and minor versions
for regular releases. Feels like a better UX than having a really high
patch number due to bumping it on every PR.
> We only support major.minor.patch for extension versions, semver
pre-release tags are not supported. So, if you publish a
major.minor.patch-tag release to the Marketplace, it will be treated as
major.minor.patch, and the tag will be ignored. Versions must be
different between pre-release and regular releases. That is, if 1.2.3 is
uploaded as a pre-release, the next regular release must be uploaded
with a distinct version, such as 1.2.4. Full semver support will be
available in the future.
