controller: adopt release based on v2beta1 state

This allows the controller to be updated from `v2beta1` to `v2beta2`
without triggering a release to settle state.

It does this by looking at the previous successful release as recorded
for the `v2beta1` object, and if found, recording a snapshot for it in
the new `History` field of the status.

This feature can be disabled by setting the `AdoptLegacyReleases`
feature flag to `false`.
