#14316 Use local repo commands instead of the github api for Release Drop Down population

[JudeRV]

Summary

Replaces the GitHub API call with a local Git command to fetch version tags for the Releases drop down. Fixes #14316

Changes

• Added a minimumVersion parameter for parsing the tags to limit the amount shown in the dropdown. This avoids the dropdown having all of these values:

Detected Project Version: 7.0.0-M4 and Software Versions: 7.0.0-M4,7.0.0-M3,7.0.0-M1,6.2.3,6.2.2,6.2.1,6.2.0,6.1.3,6.1.2,6.1.1,6.1.0,6.0.0,6.0.0-RC1,6.0.0-M4,6.0.0-M3,6.0.0-M2,6.0.0-M1,5.3.6,5.3.5,5.3.4,5.3.3,5.3.2,5.3.1,5.3.0,5.2.6,5.2.5,5.2.4,5.2.3,5.2.2,5.2.1,5.2.0,5.1.10,5.1.9,5.1.8,5.1.7,5.1.6,5.1.5,5.1.4,5.1.3,5.1.2,5.1.1,5.1.0,5.0.3,5.0.2,5.0.1,5.0.0,5.0.0-RC4,5.0.0-RC3,5.0.0.RC2,5.0.0.RC1,5.0.0-M4,5.0.0-M3,5.0.0-M2,5.0.0-M1,4.1.4,4.1.3,4.1.2,4.1.1,4.1.0,4.1.0.M5,4.1.0.M4,4.1.0.M3,4.1.0.M2,4.1.0.M1,4.0.13,4.0.12,4.0.11,4.0.10,4.0.9,4.0.8,4.0.7,4.0.6,4.0.5,4.0.4,4.0.3,4.0.2,4.0.1,4.0.0,4.0.0.RC2,4.0.0.RC1,4.0.0-M2,4.0.0-M1,3.3.18,3.3.17,3.3.16,3.3.15,3.3.14,3.3.13,3.3.12,3.3.11,3.3.10,3.3.9,3.3.8,3.3.7,3.3.6,3.3.5,3.3.4,3.3.3,3.3.2,3.3.1,3.3.0,3.3.0.RC1,3.3.0.M2,3.3.0.M1,3.2.13,3.2.12,3.2.11,3.2.10,3.2.9,3.2.8,3.2.7,3.2.6,3.2.5,3.2.4,3.2.3,3.2.2,3.2.1,3.2.0,3.2.0.RC2,3.2.0.RC1,3.2.0.M2,3.2.0.M1,3.1.16,3.1.15,3.1.14,3.1.13,3.1.12,3.1.11,3.1.10,3.1.9,3.1.8,3.1.7,3.1.6,3.1.5,3.1.4,3.1.3,3.1.2,3.1.1,3.1.0,3.1.0.RC2,3.1.0.RC1,3.1.0.M3,3.1.0.M2,3.1.0.M1,3.0.17,3.0.16,3.0.15,3.0.14,3.0.13,3.0.12,3.0.11,3.0.10,3.0.9,3.0.8,3.0.7,3.0.6,3.0.5,3.0.4,3.0.3,3.0.2,3.0.1,3.0.0,3.0.0.RC3,3.0.0.RC2,3.0.0-RC1,3.0.0-M2,3.0.0-M1,2.6.1,2.6.0,2.5.6,2.5.5,2.5.4,2.5.3,2.5.2,2.5.1,2.5.0,2.4.5,2.4.4,2.4.3,2.4.2,2.4.1,2.4.0,2.4.0.RC2,2.4.0.RC1,2.4.0.M2,2.4.0.M1,2.3.11,2.3.10,2.3.9,2.3.8,2.3.7,2.3.6,2.3.5,2.3.4,2.3.3,2.3.2,2.3.1,2.3.0,2.3.0.RC2,2.3.0.RC1,2.3.0.M2,2.3.0.M1,2.2.5,2.2.4,2.2.3,2.2.2,2.2.1,2.2.0,2.2.0.RC4,2.2.0-RC3,2.2.0.RC2,2.2.0.RC1,2.2.0.M6,2.2.0.M5,2.2.0.M4,2.1.5,2.1.4,2.1.3,2.1.2,2.1.1,2.1.0,2.1.0-RC4,2.1.0.RC3,2.1.0.RC2,2.1.0.RC1,2.1.0.M4,2.1.0.M3,2.1.0.M2,2.0.4,2.0.3,2.0.2,2.0.1,2.0.0,2.0.0.RC3,2.0.0.RC2,2.0.0.RC1,2.0.0.M2,2.0.0.M1,1.4.0.M1,1.3.9,1.3.8,1.3.7,1.3.6,1.3.5,1.3.4,1.3.3,1.3.2,1.3.1,1.2.5,1.2.4,1.2.3,1.2.2,1.2.1,1.1.2,1.1.1,1.0.4,1.0.3,1.0.2,1.0.1,1.0.RC4,1.0.0.RC1,1.0.0.M6,0.6.RC1,0.5.6,0.5.5,0.5.5.RC1,0.5.RC2,0.4.2,0.4.1,null

• Edited visitFile() function inside of Files.walkFileTree() to correctly copy the modified text over to modified-guide/. It seemed to be overwriting the new changes by copying the original file onto the target, but now the files under modified-guide/ show correct HTML.

• Added modified-guide/index.html to the list of files for which the dropdown should be generated, which was the behavior prior to a recent change.

• Edited SoftwareVersion.groovy to only initialize a patch value when the data type matches. This avoids building versions like these:
  

Let me know if there are any concerns!

Thank you for the contribution. After reviewing this, it looks like this is a bigger change to ensure we're using task configuration avoidance / lazy properties & cacheing. I've tried to make comments inline, but if you'd like to pair on some of this, I can make time given the scope of the changes required.
