What does this PR do?

Remove any rake task that is not called by a gradle task (or is a dependency of a rake task that is called by a gradle task). This follows up work to remove unused gradle tasks and ensure that all ci entrypoints start in gradle. The only exception are the linting tasks. These may be used in development workflows and may be usedful if we add linting steps to CI in the future.

This pull request does not have a backport label. Could you fix it @donoghuc? 🙏
To fixup this pull request, you need to add the backport labels for the needed
branches, such as:

backport-8./d is the label to automatically backport to the 8./d branch. /d is the digit.
If no backport is necessary, please add the backport-skip label

rakelib/plugin.rake


+VERSION_FILE = "versions.yml"
+
+def get_versions


Does it mean that build-fips-validation-plugin rake task wasn't used/called?

Nope, it was/is used. The change that triggered this definition being moved here is the removal of the rakelib/version.rake file. This had previously been defined there. It is only needed here.
