[docs feature] keep more readthedocs versions around

[wyattscarpenter]

Currently on https://mypy.readthedocs.io/ you can switch between stable and latest versions of the documentation, which is very convenient. However, what if you want to look at an older version of the documentation, such as if your installed mypy version is older or perhaps you want to track down when something changed in mypy history? Not so convenient now, because you can't go look at old versions of the documentation. However, this seems to be a feature that one can enable in readthedocs, called (in general) "versions" https://docs.readthedocs.com/platform/latest/versions.html and it seems to be free for community users as well https://about.readthedocs.com/pricing/#/community ("Documentation versioning", here, not to be confused with "build concurrency"), so, that seems like a useful thing to do.

On another note, the old versions should be configured to use tags not branches, so that we can get rid of stale branches à la #19795

I don't think readthedocs backfills old versions even if that setting is enabled, FWIW.

Still would be nicer though. (also, like, whatever happened to the v1.18.0 tag?)

I know this one, actually:

#19764 (comment)

1.18.0 had a flaky job that failed in wheels, so we had to bump the version up to get a new wheels
