super-slicer-latest: renamed from super-slicer-staging

[Moredread]

Motivation for this change

See discussion in #136962 (comment)

I've been thinking about having a seperate 'staging' package. The problem I see with this is that there don't seem to be no real release cycle, i.e. no dedicated staging/preview process. Early versions for a minor version (i.e. 2.3.57.0) seem to be more like an alpha or release candidate in other projects. I.e. after a release is considered stable, releases after that are stable as well for a time.

This would lead to "staging" to potentially be an older versions than "stable". I think I'd be happier with naming it "*-latest" and keeping it always at the latest release.

I'm not sure how other maintainers decide if a separate package for cutting edge releases is appropriate though.

alright, but that needs to be merged before a branchoff.

Actually, no, that needs to have a release notes line. @Moredread, please add a note about rename, as per 21.11 Release Notes (or backporting 21.05 Release notes) of PR to-do list.

[cab404]

Needs release notes, as package rename is a breaking change.

- `pkgs.super-slicer-staging` were renamed to `pkgs.super-slicer-latest`
- `pkgs.super-slicer.staging` were renamed to `pkgs.super-slicer.latest`

Okay, or not. I am a bit dumb. "staging" was not a part of a previous release, so I guess it shouldn't really hurt to just leave it as, without additional documentation.

Thanks 😊
