[Bug]: crontab: get rid of hardcoded versions in binary build job entries

[neteler]

At time, the minor version is hardcoded in the crontab related to writing out the logs, e.g.:

grass-addons/utils/cronjobs_osgeo_lxd/cron_job_list_grass

Line 35 in 5a2e92d

15 05 * * * nice sh /home/neteler/cronjobs/cron_grass8_relbranch_build_binaries.sh > /var/www/code_and_data/grass82/binary/linux/snapshot/build.log.txt 2>&1

A solution is needed to avoid future editing with every minor release.

What about doing something like:

latest_release_branch=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/osgeo/grass/branches | grep release | grep '"name":' | cut -f4 -d'"' | tail -n 1)

in the build script an then fetching major and minor version from the branch name?

GMAJOR=$(echo $latest_release_branch | cut -f2 -d"_")
GMINOR=$(echo $latest_release_branch | cut -f3 -d"_")

I can open a PR, if you think building upon the GitHub API is a good move...
