Adopt pre-release extension support

[isidorn]

Hi VS Code PM here 👋

Refs: microsoft/vscode#15756

VS Code now supports pre-release extensions. Docs that should help: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#prerelease-extensions

I know GO has a separate Go Nightly. Ideally Go would adopt to our pre-release support and we would deprecate that extension. VS Code can automatically migrate your existing Go Nightly users to the pre-release version of the Go extension once you have done the adoption.

Let me know what you think

That's a great news!
Thanks @isidorn for keeping us posted.

Friendly ping for this. Go is the only remaining extension in the VS Code ecosystem that is using nightly.
Can you migrate to pre-release? Are there some blockers? Thanks 🙏

Once this is done just ping me and we can migrate users from your Nightly extension to the pre-release version.
