Backport of "Ensure docs hugo_build CI job uses docs-gitlab-com stable branches"
What does this MR do and why?
Backports !200261 (merged) to 17.11. When testing the Docs site, we need to be sure to use the same version of the Hugo site as the docs we're testing against.
Otherwise we can block backport MRs by docs tests incorrectly failing.
