Ludovic Marie 5eb224a909 Rename the Nightly update channel to Alpha
The whole of Horizon is in beta, so the channel that installs every build as
soon as it is built is called Alpha; Stable keeps its name. The launcher's
Settings, the update-channel command, the MCP tool, the release notes footer
and the docs say Alpha. update_channel is saved as "alpha"; "nightly" and the
old beta_builds switch still read as Alpha.

# Automatic game releases (docs/release-flow.md). After every green `checks` run on main, every 10 minutes (so a
# release waiting for merges to settle goes out without another merge) and by hand, tools/release_train.py decides:
# a release when pull requests merged since the last one changed what players run and the newest merged 5 minutes
# ago (the oldest 20 minutes ago, if merges never pause), or at once for a pull request labelled release-now.
# RELEASES_PAUSED=1 (repository variable) stops them.
# Builds Linux (an older Ubuntu, so the binary runs on any recent distribution and on NixOS through nix-ld) and
# Windows on GitHub, macOS on the Mac mini's runner (MAC_RUNNER=macos-latest sends it to GitHub), then
# publishes vX.Y.Z on the release line in .github/release-line.txt (docs/versioning.md; without it, the dated
# vYYYY.MM.DD[.N] from before 0.2) with notes from the merged pull requests, as a beta (a pre-release) that promote.yml makes
# stable in its daily promotion. macOS: with the repository variable MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY set, the programs are signed with
# Developer ID and the hardened runtime and the zip is notarized, from the runner's signing keychain
# (packaging/macos/README.md); unset (forks), ad hoc.
