Only release packages would change; no changes to files in git

* Standalone src packages in 
https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/6.3/6.3.0-beta1/single/ would be 
 qt-everywhere-src-6.3.0.zip instead of  qt-everywhere-src-6.3.0-beta1.zip. And 
main folder in the archive wouldn't contain 'beta1' either

* Submodule specific src packages in 
https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/6.3/6.3.0-beta1/submodules/ 
would be qt<submodule>-everywhere-src-6.3.0.zip instead of 
qt<submodule>-everywhere-src-6.3.0-beta1.zip. And main folder in the archive 
wouldn't contain 'beta1' either

There is no effect to installation done by online installer; in the 
installation there isn't version tag shown at all currently either.

br,
Jani
