[WE6.2.1] Publish pre-train single version containers

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T369115

If we publish a versioned build of MediaWiki, extensions, skins, and Wikimedia configuration at least once per day we will uncover new constraints and establish a baseline of wallclock time needed to perform a build.

Progress update

• Stage: Engineering/Development
• Our WE6.2.1 hypothesis has been published to meta along with a link to the project page on mediawiki.org.
• Project goals and out of scope declarations have been published to the project page on mediawiki.org.
• The team will be working on initial integration with https://releases-jenkins.wikimedia.org/ in the coming weeks. Releases-jenkins is the Jenkins installation responsible for the weekly branch cut of MediaWiki and extensions for Wikimedia's production infrastructure.
