[PROPOSAL] rc git tag naming

From: Daniel Stenberg via curl-library <curl-library_at_lists.haxx.se>

Hello,

At the curl+distro meeting a while back we arrived at the conclusion that
having tags set in git for the release candidates would make it easier for
some to use them.

I propose we name them 'rc-[version]-[num]', where '[version]' is the same
style as the normal release tags where dots are replaced with underscores.
[num] would be 1, 2 and 3. Example: rc-8_14_0-2

As the rc tarballs are meant to be ephemeral and temporary, so are the tags.
They will not remain set forever.

My proposal exists as a PR for a documentation update where the format and
details are explained: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/17177
