Backport PR #16995 to 8.17 branch, original message:
Release notes
[rn:skip]
What does this PR do?
To avoid manual invocations specifying the version qualifier for prereleases in this commit we leverage a centralized version of truth for the version qualifier.
We also honor the
DRA_BRANCH
BK var for the generated step names (the functionality was already there, it's just a cosmetic improvement).Why is it important/What is the impact to the user?
Removes the need to specify VERSION_QUALIFIER when building DRA (staging) artifacts entirely.
How to test this PR locally
Can only be tested in BK. Links to be provided:
NOTE This is raised against 9.0 because it's the immediate need, and should be forward ported to
