Populate a new Y-builds composite repo upon creation during the preparation with a redirect to the previous release's composite p2-repository.
This was requested some time ago in an issue I don't recall exactly anymore to make the transition to a new development stream smoother.

This also removes the generic latest Y-build composite currently at:
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/Y-builds/

In the past the different schedules of I-builds and Y-builds with respect to the end of each stream lead to repeated confusion and we decided it's simpler to just drop the generic Y-build repository:

As far as I can tell, the generic Y-builds repository is not used in builds anymore already:

@stephan-herrmann, @mpalat and @jarthana, are both changes fine for you?

Populate a new Y-builds composite repo upon creation during the
preparation with a redirect to the previous release's composite
p2-repository. This smoothens the transition to a new dev-stream.

And remove the generic latest Y-build composite:
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/Y-builds/
The slightly different schedule of I- and Y-builds at the end of a
stream repeatedly lead to confusion and using specific repositories
clarifies that.

@stephan-herrmann, @mpalat and @jarthana, are both changes fine for you?

Please let me know, if you object with this change. Otherwise I'll consider silence as consent and will continue with this.
Then I'll also delete the composite repository at https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/Y-builds/.
