21a9e94dbb ci: remove hardcoded tag list from ci scripts (josibake)
d530ba390e doc: update test/README.md (josibake)
614d4682ba script: default to necessary tags in get_previous_releases.py (josibake)
Pull request description:
Almost every time I need to use this script, I forget the tag list is needed and that a specific set of tags is needed for the backwards compatibility tests to work. I end up wasting time reading through the script and googling to find the tag list before remembering it is in `test/README.md`
I assume (hope) I'm not the only one this happens to, so I figured it would make more sense to have the script default to downloading/building the necessary tags. This has the added benefit of making the script the source of truth: the script already needs to be updated with the SHA256_SUM of the binary for every new tag that is added, so it makes sense to use `SHA256_SUMS` list as the necessary tag list. This means there is less risk of the README and the script drifting (i.e updating the readme with a new tag and forgetting to update the script, or updating the script and forgetting to update the README). Now all that needs to happen is to update the `SHA256_SUMS` list in the script and everything Just Works (TM)
