[9.1] (backport #8761) ci: always include 8.19 LTS release branch in snapshots of test versions

[mergify]

What does this PR do?

This PR ensures the inclusion of the 8.19 LTS branch in the list of snapshot branches used for upgrade testing in CI. Previously, only a limited number of recent release branches (e.g., 9.x, 7.17) were included. However, since 8.19 is designated as an LTS branch and will be supported for an extended period, this change adds it explicitly - similar to the existing logic for 7.17.

The implementation includes:

• Dynamically appending 8.19 to the list of snapshot branches if the current agent version is greater than 8.19.
• Updating testdata/.upgrade-test-agent-versions.yml to reflect the latest 7.17 snapshot version (7.17.30-SNAPSHOT).

Why is it important?

This change ensures that upgrade tests against the 8.19 LTS branch are consistently included in CI pipelines, especially when building agent versions from 9.x onward. It guarantees test coverage against supported upgrade paths and aligns with the long-term support strategy.
