Description

Our release process expects CAPI infrastructure providers to use a semantic version in the [`GIT_TAG`](https://github.com/aws/eks-anywhere-build-tooling/blob/main/projects/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-cloudstack/GIT_TAG) file. While semantic versions are more useful for comparisons than commit SHAs, it can be necessary to use a commit SHA for the build (perhaps a tag isn't available and won't be for some time).

This feature request is to support using commit SHAs when building CAPI components (specifically infrastructure providers).

Research direction

Start with the linked GIT_TAG file for the example CAPI infrastructure provider and trace the release build logic that requires a semantic version. Identify where the tag format is validated or consumed, then verify that a commit SHA can be used to build the provider without breaking the existing semantic-version path.
