Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the macOS package naming convention for preview releases. Instead of using powershell-preview-X.Y.Z-preview.N pattern, preview packages now follow the same pattern as stable releases (powershell-X.Y.Z-preview.N), where the preview designation is indicated solely by the version string rather than the package name prefix.
Key Changes
- Removed the
elseif ($IsPreview)branch that added-previewto package names for non-LTS preview builds - Updated regex patterns in test and validation files to match the new naming convention (removing
previewas a name prefix option) - Clarified comments to explain that preview/rebuild versions are identified by the version string itself

Update test/packaging/macos/package-validation.tests.ps1 with correct regex pattern for macOS package naming validation. This file was missed in the original backport PR PowerShell#26562. Changes: - Remove (-preview|-lts)? pattern (no more -preview in names) - Update to (lts-)? - only LTS gets prefix - Update comments to reflect new naming convention - Match validation used in release-validate-packagenames.yml
