Use static artifact names and version suffix veriable

[hallipr]

What does this PR do?

Removes the complexity of using an output variable for the version suffix by creating a global variable.
Replaces $(PipelineArtifactName) based artifact names with consistent static names:

• build_{platform}
• binaries_signed
• packages_npm
• packages_vsix_signed
• packages_nuget_signed
• docker_staged

Pull Request Overview

This PR simplifies the pipeline configuration by removing dynamic version suffix generation and standardizing artifact naming conventions. The changes move version suffix logic from a job output variable to a global variable and replace dynamic artifact names with consistent static names.

• Moves version suffix logic from Initialize job output to global variable in globals.yml
• Standardizes artifact names to consistent static patterns (build_, binaries_signed, packages_*)
• Removes dependencies on the Initialize stage and simplifies parameter handling
