New description:

 In #51774 we added the version numbers to the buttons for `Re-install`.
 When the user is updating to a nightly, beta, or RC the button always
 displays `Update to latest nightly`.

 I propose that we change this display `Update to latest nightly` only when
 the user is updating to nighties.

 If the user is updating to the latest beta or RC, given their settings in
 the `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` constant or their settings in the Beta Tester
 plugin, then we should display that version number in the button. This
 would look like `Update to version 5.7-beta3`

 It will also display the version in the next release, `Update to version
 5.7`

 This would provide better and more clear understanding of what the update
 will be.
