🚀 [Feature] Date-based prerelease suffix (#14)

- Resolves #8 but instead of having to choose incremental or date-based,
you can use both.

Other:
- Fixes an issue where the action main script did not run. Path was
incorrect when running in a remote repo.
- Fixes a log issue where the setting of the incremental feature
enablement was showing incorrect value.
