docs: dpm install instructions: how to install older version #10

Right now, the DPM install instructions do not do a good job to explain to an user that knows basically nothing except "I am not on latest, I am on 3.x" how to install an older version. Possible unanswered questions are:

  • how to install an older version (should we install latest first then dpm install or go curl -sSL https://get.digitalasset.com/install/install.sh | sh -s <version>
  • how to resolve patch version (i.e. go from 3.x to 3.x.y)

https://github.com/DACH-NY/canton/pull/29854 removes some lines in a tutorial that tries to somewhat do this, by extending the install instructions with |version| and |release| variables. This way, the idea was, that a particular version of the docs would describe exactly how to install the release associated with that version of the docs. However, things never worked, were misconfigured, and ended up removed since the place to explain this is not some random tutorial, but the dpm install doc.

Possibly superseded by the floaty versions approach
