Add date-based dataVersion to composite/superTrack otto containers. refs #36455

Composite and superTrack container pages do not display 'Data last updated at
UCSC' (printUpdateTime returns early for them), so a dataVersion file is the
only freshness signal a user sees there. Add one to the dbVar (dbVarSv),
panelApp, clinGen (clinGenComp) and decipher (decipherContainer) containers.

Each otto build script writes a per-assembly 'Last updated <date>' file when it
actually updates the data, and the container stanza points to it via dataVersion.
clinGen's container date is written by its three displayed feeds (makeDosage,
makeGeneValidity, makeClinGenCspec); decipher writes hg38 only (hg19 is frozen).
