Closes AINFRA-2828

Why?

How?

Behaviour is unchanged — the command in a8c-ci-toolkit is a straight port of the script being deleted here.
Every call site already runs in a step with the toolkit plugin loaded, which is what puts the command on $PATH.

Compatibility

The toolkit pin moves from 5.3.1 to 6.3.0. I checked the breaking changes in the toolkit's CHANGELOG.md between those two versions and none apply to this repo.

Draft Status

Important

Draft until a8c-ci-toolkit 6.3.0 is released — the pin doesn't resolve before then.

Thirteen repos each carried a byte-identical copy of `.buildkite/commands/checkout-release-branch.sh`. It now lives in `a8c-ci-toolkit` instead, as the `checkout_release_branch` command, so there is one copy to fix the next time it needs fixing.

Behaviour is unchanged. The toolkit pin moves from 5.3.1 to 6.3.0, the release that introduces the command.
