Subject: [PATCH] ci: build last four minor R versions instead of only the
 latest

Derive the latest patch release of each of the last four minor R versions
from posit's versions.json and build any that are missing from S3,
so older supported minors stay available rather than only the newest stable.

Replace the awk regex existence check with a literal index() match;
the unescaped version dots made e.g. 4.4.3 spuriously match 4.3.3.
