Patch releases of jsapi-types getting dist-tag `latest` incorrectly

[mofojed]

Description

When we publish a patch version of deephaven-core (and subsequently a patch version of the @deephaven/jsapi-types package), it should not be labelled as latest.
For example, we previously published v0.34.3, which is the latest version. We then went back and released a patch to v0.33, and published v0.33.4. That should not have the dist-tag of latest, latest should still point to v0.34.3.
For web-client-ui packages, we set the dist tag to just the major version number of the release branch that is being patched, e.g. https://github.com/deephaven/web-client-ui/blob/37571633dd0be5b7a606bee45af10f6a7d09d4ec/lerna.json#L6

See screenshot below. v0.34.3 was published 13 days ago, and then we published a patch 0.33.4 yesterday, but that stole the latest tag.

Fix would just be changing latest to the release branch name at

deephaven-core/.github/workflows/publish-ci.yml

Line 120 in bf13489

run: npm publish --provenance --tag latest web/client-api/types/build/deephaven-jsapi-types-*.tgz

(e.g. v0.33)

From @devinrsmith :

May need to be a bash script. You'll want to get the official version from gradle (as opposed to the branch name)

[devinrsmith]

There are a couple of GH tasks that call the outputVersion task and get the version:

      - name: All Javadoc
        uses: burrunan/gradle-cache-action@v1
        with:
          job-id: allJavadoc
          arguments: --scan outputVersion combined-javadoc:allJavadoc
          gradle-version: wrapper
          
      - name: Get Deephaven Version
        id: dhc-version
        run: echo "version=$(cat build/version)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT

which can then be referenced via ${{ steps.dhc-version.outputs.version }}
