Confused about the usage of 'raw'

[LinuxSuRen]

I feel pretty confused about the usage of raw. According to the explanation, users always get the actual tag name. But it has different results for a release and pre-release.

I'm wondering if it's possible to let it have the same behavior.

* `raw` ; the actual tag

| Git tag            | Pattern                                                  | Output               |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|----------------------|
| `v1.2.3`           | `{{raw}}`                                                | `v1.2.3`             |
| `v2.0.8-beta.67`   | `{{raw}}`                                                | `2.0.8-beta.67`*     |

I already read the following explanation. But I cannot understand why a pre-release version should not have the prefix v.

> *Pre-release (rc, beta, alpha) will only extend `{{version}}` as tag because they are updated frequently,
> and contain many breaking changes that are (by the author's design) not yet fit for public consumption.

@LinuxSuRen Good point, raw should always return the actual tag, even for a pre-release. Will fix that.

@LinuxSuRen #155 should fix this issue. You can try with crazy-max/docker-metadata-action@prerelease-raw.

@crazy-max I'm not sure if I use it correctly. But it seems not work well.

@LinuxSuRen Looks like a typo: type=semver,pattern=pattern={{raw}} > type=semver,pattern={{raw}}

My bad. It works well. Thanks for your quick fixing. Great job!
