Issue Summary
As it is now (after #1007210: Test bot should run tests against the core version the issue is set to. was fixed), patches posted in an issue are tested against the version the issue is set to. There are times though when patches for more than one branch/version are posted at the same time. Only one of them is actually tested leaving the other(s) simply ignored, because issues -and thus patches- can only be "tied" to a single version at a given time.
Now that #66484: Allow issues to be posted against multiple versions is in the works, we should make it possible to assign a version to an uploaded file if that is a patch. Then each patch can be tested against its version respectively.
As to how this can be achieved, for now we can go the easy(ier) way of having a filename based rule. In the long run, perhaps we'll make it possible to be able to select version while uploading the patch file.

...we already have a rule in place to ignore patches that have a filename that ends in "-do-not-test.patch". Some are already in the (good) habit of adding a "d7" or "d8" in their patches. Why don't we use that?
