Update reference, MiMa previous version and sync TASTy version (#22187)

* Update reference version to 3.6.3-RC1 (from 3.6.0)
* Update mima previous binary verison to 3.6.2 (instead of unofficial
3.6.1)
* Set TASTy version to `28.7-experimental-1` - it should have been set
when branching of 3.6.3.
* We now document better how and when tasty version should be set 
* Add additional runtime test to ensure we don't emit invalid TASTy
version during Release / NIGHTLY releases and the expected version set
in build matches version defined in TastyFormat
