Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Publish release 3.0.0 Docker images nightly (#7196)

## Summary

- add `release/3.0.0` to the nightly Docker publishing branch matrix
- retain nightly publishing for `develop`
- leave push-trigger behavior unchanged

## Why

The repository default branch is currently `release/3.0.0-beta2`, and
scheduled GitHub Actions workflows are registered from the default
branch. Adding the future stable branch to this workflow ensures the
nightly publisher checks out and publishes `release/3.0.0` after that
branch is created.

The existing release tag logic will produce `latest-release-3.0.0` and
the immutable SHA tag.

This PR should merge when the new branch is created, or afterward, so
the scheduled checkout can resolve it. If `release/3.0.0` will replace
beta2 as the default branch, it must inherit this scheduled workflow or
receive this commit before the default-branch switch.

## Validation

- parsed the workflow YAML and asserted that `schedule` remains enabled
and no `push` trigger was added
- asserted that `CRON_BRANCHES` is `develop,release/3.0.0`
- ran `.\\isaaclab.bat -f`

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [Docs] Publish release 3.0.0 and beta tag (#7209)

## Summary

- add `release/3.0.0` to the nightly multi-version documentation set
- remove the mutable `release/3.0.0-beta2` branch from the version
switcher
- publish the immutable `v3.0.0-beta2` tag and make it the docs
landing-page default

## Why

The repository default branch is currently `release/3.0.0-beta2`, so
this branch owns the active scheduled docs workflow. The stable release
branch now exists and needs to appear in nightly multi-version builds,
while the released beta documentation should resolve to its immutable
tag rather than a mutable branch.

## Validation

- `.\isaaclab.bat -f`
- verified the branch whitelist includes `release/3.0.0` and excludes
`release/3.0.0-beta2`
- verified the tag whitelist includes `v3.0.0-beta2` and stable tags
- verified `v3.0.0-beta2` is the docs default
- verified the `v3.0.0-beta2` tag exists upstream
