What does this PR do?

Updates the gemspec processing for logstash-core to include -SNAPSHOT when WORKFLOW_TYPE environment variable is snapshot, which happens when CI builds snapshot artifacts.

Why is it important/What is the impact to the user?

When running Logstash, the version stage or qualifier must be immediately visible, for example:

% bin/logstash --version
Using system java: /Users/andrea/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java
logstash 9.0.0-SNAPSHOT

@andsel I kicked off a build of the exhaustive test suite using this PR just to be on the safe side: https://buildkite.com/elastic/logstash-exhaustive-tests-pipeline/builds/1144

Do we want the same addition in the plugin API? https://github.com/elastic/logstash/blob/main/logstash-core-plugin-api/logstash-core-plugin-api.gemspec

There are several use cases that need to be tested but some don't seem to work:

1. tarball name contains SNAPSHOT twice 🔴
2. snapshot shows up in bin/logstash -V 🟢
3. snapshot does not showsup in bin/logstash --debug -V, just shows 9.0.0 🔴
4. snapshot shows up in HTTP api response 🟢 (there is a separate "snapshot" field in the response)
5. snapshot does not show up in logging entry at startup, only 9.0.0 🔴

Also I suggest using RELEASE as the environment variable to know if the build is a release or a snapshot. WORKFLOW_TYPE is used by the ci scripts.

This pull request does not have a backport label. Could you fix it @andsel? 🙏
To fixup this pull request, you need to add the backport labels for the needed
branches, such as:

• backport-8./d is the label to automatically backport to the 8./d branch. /d is the digit.
• backport-8.x is the label to automatically backport to the 8.x branch.

[mergify]

backport-8.x has been added to help with the transition to the new branch 8.x.
If you don't need it please use backport-skip label.
