feat: support the Alpha release phase

Node.js 27 introduces Alpha releases versioned as
vN.0.0-alpha.X.Y.Z (see nodejs/node#63135).

- Keep Alpha versions in the release data instead of letting nodevu
  coerce them into vN.0.0, and give them the new Alpha status.
- Add a /download/alpha page and warn that Alpha releases are not
  meant for production.
- Fall back to the latest LTS on /download/current and
  /download/archive/current while there is no Current release.
- Match pre-releases in the platform and installer checks.

It's not strictly needed, it only keeps the URL consistent with the selected release, like we do for /current. Happy to drop it if you prefer

Can we fix this upstream rather than writing custom logic around nodevu?

+1 @bnb would you mind updating nodevu to support this? I can also bake a PR to nodevu
