For the sake of building previous releases, fetching the whole history
of the repository for each version seems to be overkill as it takes much
more time, bandwidth and disk space than necessary. Create a shallow
clone instead with history truncated to the one commit of the version
tag, which is directly checked out in the same command. This has the
nice side-effect that we can remove the extra `git checkout` step after
as it's not needed anymore.
Note that it might look confusing to pass a _tag_ to a parameter named
`--branch`, but the git-clone manpage explicitly states that this is
supported.
741908afc1 test: previous releases: add v24.0.1 (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
The same procedure as every release (see dba1231672 [v23.0] and d8b705f1ca [v22.0]), only a little simpler now: thanks to #25650, the previous release fetch script defaults to downloading/building the necessary tags, i.e. we don't need to extend the tag list in the CI scripts and test/README.md anymore.

This is a small follow-up to #25650 (commit
614d4682ba) with three fixes/improvements:
- fix "Checksum did not match" detection, which was not adapted to the new
SHA256_SUMS structure and hence never executed (the list of tarball
names isn't directly in the dictionary's values anymore, but has to be
extracted from the 'tarball' field of each value)
- make both help text and default tag download order deterministic by
sorting default tags
- "--tags" argument help text: add missing space between "for" and
"backwards"
in order to run the backwards compatibility tests, specific releases are needed.
previously, the list of tags was in test/README.md, but it makes more sense to
have them as the default list in script
It is not possible to run the compatibility tests on i686 because the
releases v20+ are missing for that arch. It would be possible to
self-compile those releases, but then one can also self-compile
0.15-0.19.
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

179a051704 util: improves error messages on get_previous_releases script (Nelson Galdeman)
Pull request description:
When previous releases are fetched and the specified version wasn't added to the checksum list we used to get a "Checksum did not match" which isn't true (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/issues/753#issuecomment-879546719).
If the specified version number is not on the list, it now logs cannot do the comparison instead.
