Refine package building workflow in GitHub Actions

The updates in this commit refine the way branch names and package prefixes are determined in the GitHub workflow for package building. Moreover, the workflow now recognizes and supports additional branch patterns, including 'patch/*' and 'preview/*', extending the existing support for 'main' and 'feature/*' branches.
