chore(cd): transition from alpha/next to beta/latest

[decepulis]

Summary

• Add prerelease-type: "beta" to all 8 packages in release-please config — next release becomes 10.0.0-beta.0
• Fix double publish keyword bug and remove --tag next from CD workflow — publishes to latest by default
• Remove @next from install commands in docs, CDN URLs, and README npm badge
• Update README status line, intro paragraph, and timeline to reflect beta

The next dist-tag stays frozen at 10.0.0-alpha.10. Canary release repurposing tracked in #845.

Test plan

• Verify release-please-config.json has prerelease-type: "beta" on all 8 packages
• Verify CD workflow publish command has no double publish and no --tag next
• Verify no remaining @next in install commands or CDN URLs
• After merge: npm view @videojs/html dist-tags shows latest at beta.0
