weeklybld: let the docker instance scripts run a past release, refs #38377

We could not reproduce a bug against the release a user is actually on.
hgwdev runs tip and the current release, and nothing older. Docker Hub
already has a per-release image, so the missing piece was a way to run one.

The lifecycle scripts now take a release name as well as tip, beta and rel.
run-instance.sh v503 starts the published v503 image as container kent-v503
on port 8503; the port is 8000 plus the release number, so the mapping needs
no table and no allocator. A release instance gets no CGI overlay, for the
same reason rel gets none: it has to be the code that shipped.
refresh-instance.sh, remove-instance.sh and smoke-instance.sh take the same
name. smoke-instance.sh checks a release instance against the version in its
own name, so no --version flag is needed. start-all.sh and stop-all.sh now
read the release containers that exist rather than a fixed list, so the set
of releases we keep can change without editing them.

tunnel-release.sh is one script for every release rather than one per
release, since that set changes.

v499 through v503 are running on hgwdev on ports 8499 through 8503 and pass
smoke-instance.sh. Five instances cost about 1.5 GB of memory, 10 GB of
docker disk, and no measurable CPU. They read tables from
genome-mysql.soe.ucsc.edu and files from hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu, so they
put no load on the hgwdev MySQL or /gbdb.
