Conversation
Replaces the dummy echo placeholder in the mckci_release_promote Evergreen task with
the real invocation. After all staging tests pass on a master merge, the task builds
mckctl from source, authenticates to Quay, and calls:
scripts/mckci release promote \
--image quay.io/mongodb/staging/mongodb-kubernetes:${OPERATOR_VERSION} \
--commit ${revision} \
--version ${OPERATOR_VERSION}
This applies the promoted-{commit}-{version} and promoted-latest tags to the tested
candidate, implementing the invariant that only images that passed all CI tests can
be marked as releasable.

Summary
This adds a new release process backed by the new promote/publish CI tooling that allows us to skip rebuilding and retesting at release time.
The new process just takes the promoted images from a tagged commit that was previously promoted, usually only after having passed all tests, and mimics the rest of the process except rebuilding and retesting images. Instead the promoted images are directly copied over to the official release registries.
The old release process is kept as deprecated. Will be removed once the new release process proves to be reliable.
Note that this change also changes the tigger tags from GH to Evergreen:
old-X.Y.Znew-X.Y.ZX.Y.Z, which no longer triggers further actions.Proof of Work
TBD
