Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ci: emit Azure Linux base image version in build summary

After the Linux image is built and pulled, extract the resolved Azure
Linux version from /etc/os-release and surface it as a pipeline warning
in the build summary. This makes it easy to find the exact base image
version for release notes without needing to kubectl exec into a running
container or search through thousands of lines of build logs.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ci: remove unnecessary setvariable for Azure Linux
 version

The warning log alone is sufficient for reading the Azure Linux version
during release notes updates. No downstream pipeline step consumes
the AZURELINUX_VERSION variable, so remove it.
