[Task]: Update beam_PostCommit_Java_IO_Performance_Tests.yml to select release branch automatically

[johnjcasey]

What needs to happen?

beam_PostCommit_Java_IO_Performance_Tests.yml is hardcoded to the most recent release. This should be updated to query the Github releases endpoint, and automatically select the most recent release.

why is this suite testing a release branch as opposed to testing dev SDK?

Also it seems broken as of now:

Error: Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under '/runner/_work/beam/beam/.github/actions/setup-environment-action'. Did you forget to run actions/checkout before running your local action?

This suite is designed to run performance tests, and collect metrics against our released branches. We don't want to add master-branch metrics to our results

The suite appears to be Permared at present.
