Support Running Version Tests on Fresh OS Installs

[kj4ezj]

Change Description

From AUTO-629, I am creating the eosio-version-check pipeline to validate the correct assets have been attached to an EOSIO release by downloading the release assets from GitHub, installing them on clean operating systems, and running these version label tests. These tests work by comparing the output of the nodeos binary to reference values from git and our CMake. However, clean Linux docker images straight from the operating system vendor do not include these utilities!

This pull request modifies the version tests to accept expected values from environment variables so they can be run in a sanitary environment without installing any other software besides EOSIO. If these variables are not present, the current mechanism of obtaining expected values from ctest and git is used.
