Update end-to-end tests to use the release Docker image or release archive

[dlvenable]

Description

This PR updates the end-to-end tests to make use release artifacts. This moves toward replacing the existing smoke tests with our end-to-end tests instead, though it doesn't complete that transition.

With this PR, our end-to-end test will use release artifacts. This means that our PRs will run tests against actual artifacts instead of test-specific artifacts.

This PR:

• Adds a new endToEndJavaVersion option named docker which runs using the release Docker image.
• Updates the custom end-to-end Docker image to use the release tar.gz instead of building custom packaging.
• Run end-to-end tests using the release Docker image by default.
• Adds a buildSrc to start sharing more logic between classes.
• Makes more use of tasks.register() which allows Gradle to evaluate the tasks when needed.

In order to make this work, I changed each test sub-project to register tasks from a configuration object. This configuration object has the correct configurations for creating the tests. Then the Gradle build will use the configurations to register the tasks. This works better than the old approach which called functions from the tasks. For one, it allows us to use tasks.register() and thus evaluate the tasks as needed.
