Since MONGOCRYPT-491 releases were supposed to be automated via evergreen and the libmongocrypt-release project. However, its unsure this process actually works.

Snapshots are published via: libmongocrypt project and releases via the libmongocrypt-release project.

Option 1 - current behavior (if it worked)

Snapshots build the latest version of libmongocrypt as a dependency of the publish-java task.
Releases use a tagged version of libmongocrypt

Option 2.

Simplify the build of snapshots and official releases by configuring the actual release version of libmongocrypt to use: (via a tag name?)

• Download the artifacts for the tag
• Rely on: test-java, publish-java tasks
