As a release engineer, I want to use yarn version --prerelease to bump the version instead of manually modifying it

[kittaakos]

Describe the problem

This is a follow-up of #1492. Originally posted here:

In the long run, we should use yarn to generate these pre-release version numbers instead of manually bumping them. Once this is merged, I will create a follow-up with the request.

Ref: https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/version/#toc-yarn-version-prerelease

To reproduce

See the docs, the version bump is a manual procedure.

Expected behavior

Use yarn to update the version. Preferably, no manual version bump is required.

When on 2.1.0 and building a snapshot or nightly version, yarn should generate the updated version number as part of the build process.

When on 2.1.0 and building a new release: TODO, figure out. The problem could that the build process should commit the updated version. If it works.
