Account for using ML snapshot builds in HLRC release tests (#90066)

Since #89951 we use
ML snapshot builds in all elasticsearch-ci jobs, even the
release-tests ones.

The test of the reported ML native code version in the HLRC tests
needs to account for this.

This change is 7.17 only, as the HLRC is removed in 8.x.
