Preview Toggle for Scratch org def file

[GeekStewie]

Feature Type

I'm interested in extensions to existing CumulusCI functionality (e.g., broader applicability of an existing Task or Flow).

Does your feature request solve a current problem?

Currently we need to maintain two dev.json org config files and ensure they are kept in sync, so that at the core preview window we can load a scratch org onto the preview of the core release. The only difference in the two files is the addition of the line "release": "preview",

To maintain one file removes any human error when keeping the files in sync.

Describe the solution you'd like

When creating an org with a flow like dev_org or qa_org be able to set preview at the end. This could also work for previous, which may be needed in certain scenarios.

Example: cci flow run dev_org --org dev --preview

This would then take the dev.json file (or whatever file has been set for the dev org config) and create a temp copy with the "release: preview " line added. Then use that to create the org.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maintaining two files.

Adding a script which could then handle the option however this would then need to be maintained as cci evolves.
