stage-release script should have an option to not bump the version

[jelbourn]

In #16134 I bumped the version to 8.0.0 as part of another change, but then had to go back down to 8.0.0-rc.1 so that the stage-release script could bump the version. It would be convenient to have an option for "I already bumped the version".
