Fix FwC test task registration (elastic#133937)

With this change it takes into account that not all versions have
previous minor unreleased version (because we are on the oldest active
development branch), or that current version has minor == 0 (e.g. 9.0)
so previous minor have to be calculated differently.

* Add FwC branch configuration and update periodic trigger logic

Ensuring that only relevant branches are considered.

* Correct FWC periodic pipeline variables

Utilize Buildkite matrix syntax and escape env in command.
