Support to publish snapshots to Central Sonatype

[chitralverma]

Since snapshots are now supported by central, can you please add support for publishing snapshots to central ?
currently, the plugin fails with -
Sonatype Central does not accept snapshots, only official releases. Aborting release.

@chitralverma pull request (to sbt-sonatype) welcome

Isn't this the first question on FAQ? (I am asking for reals)

import xerial.sbt.Sonatype.sonatypeCentralHost

ThisBuild / sonatypeCredentialHost := sonatypeCentralHost

The error we get when trying to publish snapshots to Sonatype Central as-is is from sbt-ci-release itself though:

sbt-ci-release/plugin/src/main/scala/com/geirsson/CiReleasePlugin.scala

Lines 172 to 177 in 5473b64

	if (shouldDeployToSonatypeCentral) {
	if (isSnapshot) {
	println(
	s"Sonatype Central does not accept snapshots, only official releases. Aborting release."
	)
	currentState

Do you then think it might be enough to just remove this check and add logic to publish, and the lower-level publication logic is already implemented by sbt-sonatype?

I might have time to try a few things soon

@PapyChacal i think changes are required in sbt-sonatype as well because of the repo URL and there are some restrictions there as well.

thats why i raised xerial/sbt-sonatype#564
