Download hash script: auto discover versions

[VannTen]

What type of PR is this?
/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

• Iterate over patch versions from a given minor
• Auto-discover current minors from checksums.yml if no explicit minor version is passed to the scripts

Special notes for your reviewer:
If we can then hook other stuff into that script, we should be able to automate the "Update versions" PR and outsource them to a bot (Prow I guess)

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

The change looks good to me, but I am not sure if the automated PR/bot system should use the .py script that only take care of kubernetes version or the .sh version that does all the other tools as well. I guess it could be both depending on what we want to do 🤷‍♂️

I'm inclined to think python is more maintainable on the long-term. I admit I find it hard to review #10713 because of that

Well maintainability also depends on everyone familiarity with the language and is quite subjective but apart from that the sh variant handles a lot more things than the py variant. The sh script handles all the checksum for everything (~15 different software probably something like that) and many of those has some specifics that we have to handle there. So I am not opposed of getting rid of the .sh script but there is a lot of work that has to be done on the .py variant to get up to speed...

Ack. I'll look into it see how hard handling the other binaries is
