Support to publish snapshots to Central Sonatype

[chitralverma]

Since snapshots are now supported by central, can you please add support for publishing snapshots to central ? currently, the plugin fails with - Sonatype Central does not accept snapshots, only official releases. Aborting release.

@chitralverma pull request (to sbt-sonatype) welcome

[eed3si9n]

Isn't this the first question on FAQ? (I am asking for reals)

import xerial.sbt.Sonatype.sonatypeCentralHost

ThisBuild / sonatypeCredentialHost := sonatypeCentralHost

The error we get when trying to publish snapshots to Sonatype Central as-is is from sbt-ci-release itself though: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-ci-release/blob/5473b647da651e6dd14b9dd5d8d73b51d6ccee71/plugin/src/main/scala/com/geirsson/CiReleasePlugin.scala#L172-L177

Do you then think it might be enough to just remove this check and add logic to publish, and the lower-level publication logic is already implemented by sbt-sonatype?

I might have time to try a few things soon

@PapyChacal i think changes are required in sbt-sonatype as well because of the repo URL and there are some restrictions there as well.

thats why i raised https://github.com/xerial/sbt-sonatype/issues/564

I'm not sure if this is fully completed yet - see my comment here: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-ci-release/pull/365/files#r2094559720

My bad. I don't really use snapshot publishing so it didn't occur to me that they don't have tags.
