Pull request overview
Backports the build/packaging change to stop hardcoding the ICU “build” major version and instead derive it dynamically from the latest ICU GitHub release, keeping dependency generation up to date over time.
Changes:
- Replaces the hardcoded ICU build major version with a call to
Get-IcuLatestRelease. - Adds
Get-IcuLatestReleaseto fetch and parse the latest ICU release info from GitHub.

Impact
REQUIRED: Choose either Tooling Impact or Customer Impact (or both). At least one checkbox must be selected.
Tooling Impact
Updates build system to dynamically fetch the latest ICU release version from GitHub instead of using hardcoded values. This simplifies build maintenance and ensures latest ICU versions are used.
Customer Impact
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
Verified by running build process to confirm ICU version is fetched correctly from GitHub releases API. No changes to runtime behavior or test requirements.
Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
Medium risk as it changes build system behavior for ICU version detection. The change makes builds more maintainable by fetching latest ICU releases dynamically rather than hardcoding versions. Limited scope to build-time operations only.
