Shallow versioning on CI templates for better development process
What does this MR do?
Today, we don't have versioning concept in our CI templates, and because of that, we cannot make any breaking changes today. This significantly limits our development capability and slows our iteration speed.
After the discussion in #17716 (closed), we got some technical proposals. As the beginning of this, we start shallow-versioning with the approach Introduce "stable" and "latest" templates, which was originally proposed by @ayufan
We actually start versioning a template in this MR.
