[ros-release] Prerelease flow different from release

[Mike Purvis]

Hey folks,

I just had an issue where a pre-release succeeded, but the ultimate release
failed to build. It's a repo containing multiple packages, and the fault
came down to the fact that a prerelease checks out the whole repo and
builds it as one workspace, whereas a release builds each package in total
isolation.

Is there any way to make the prerelease a closer match to the actual
release, so that the prerelease check a better predictor of release success?
