Pin image digests for more reliable review apps (version 2)

Mitchell Nielsen requested to merge ci-pin-image-digest-v2 into master

What does this MR do?

Version 2 of !3406 (merged)

Adds a job before the review-related jobs trigger. It calculates the correct image to use (using existing logic), and then uses skopeo to retrieve the current image digest. It then includes this digest in a Helm values file that is saved as an artifact so it's available to the review app jobs.

This should make the review apps more reliable, as this avoids the scenario in which the global.image.pullPolicy=Always could lead to review apps running containers that are misaligned
