I would like to propose that we start using the LLVM_VERSION_SUFFIX
CMake variable for release candidates. For example:
after the release/13.x branch is created, instead of changing
LLVM_VERSION_SUFFIX from "git" to "", we would change it to "rc1",
then after the 13.0.0-rc1 release is tagged, we would update the
variable to "rc2", etc. Then right before the final release has been
tagged, we would set it to ""
Just a note that this can be confusing because there would now have
builds reporting as `13.0.0-rc1` without any corresponding tag in the
repository. I think that instead of doing that, changing it to be
`13.90.0` or something to indicate "after 13, but not yet 14" while
avoiding any (plausible) `13.x` release number might be a better
strategy.
This is the situation now, because the version of llvm in the release/13.x
branch is 13.0.0 before there is a 13.0.0 tag.
We use the minor release number for ABI breaking releases sometimes, so I
don't think we can use it to indicate 'almost' the next version.

I learned this trick from KDE by the way if any prior art is wanted.
