[BUG] Latest version in version check is nightly and not stable one

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

In latest stable release https://github.com/pnp/powershell/releases/tag/v2.12.0 was changed "Removed version check dependency on version.txt located in Github repo. Use metadata from powershellgallery.com instead." This is OK, but now (unlike previously, check the version history) there are nightly versions in PS Gallery, so when you check there the latest version it shows nightly one.

Possible solutions as I see them: (either or)

1. use prerelease for nightly + update check ignores alpha, beta ones
2. Nightly isn't posted in PS Gallery anymore => check will work as expected after the next stable release
3. If you keep posting nightly in PS Gallery w/o 1st - probably the check should be changed back

Expected behavior

Nightly isn't shown on new version check

Actual behavior

Update check shows latest nightly version

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Installed 2.12.0
2. Connect-PnPOnline
3. warning will shown

Same issue here, running the stable version. @erwinvanhunen On PSGallery the 2.99.8-nightly version is shown as the current version.
