QA-2168: Refactor provider tests to use app version tag (semvar)

[ichengchang]

QA-2168: <Link to Jira ticket>

What:

We need to migrate from Git hash to semvar for all repositories that currently publish consumer pacts or run provider verification tests. These repositories are known as pacticipants when they have been enrolled or enabled in Sherlock for contract testings.

Why:

Sherlock now relies on semvar (aka application version) to push deployment notifications to Pact Broker. We need this PR to ensure the consistency of the versioning scheme used by Sherlock and Pact Broker.

How:

Deprecate PROVIDER_SHA in favor of PROVIDER_VERSION

PR checklist

• I've followed the instructions if I've made any changes to the API, especially if they're breaking changes
• I've filled out the Security Risk Assessment (requires Broad Internal network access) and attached the result to the JIRA ticket
