Pull Request Overview
This PR automates the update of the EXERCISE_TOOLKIT_REF environment variable across reusable workflow files by replacing hard-coded version strings with a dynamic environment variable and introducing a new workflow to update those self-references automatically.
- Replaces static version references with a dynamic environment variable in start-exercise.yml and finish-exercise.yml.
- Adds a new workflow (_update-self-references.yml) to automate the update of self-references based on the latest commit SHA.

Description
Because reusable workflows in exercise-toolkit sometimes use other parts of the exercise-toolkit we had to update the git references (versions) to these parts every time they were updated.
This PR aims to automate that, so we don't need to manually do PR's like the following: (we would just approve/merge them)
Changes

EXERCISE_TOOLKIT_REFenvironment variable set to the latest commit SHA.Checklist
