Add the ability to select a beta branch #503

Thanks for this lovely project!

The recent cross-play update broke ValheimPlus, which, for users of a dedicated server, means their server can't start. A frequently-offered workaround is to downgrade by running the default_old beta branch. This is harder to do on the valheim-server-docker project, whose valheim-updater script will restore the release version on every startup or during idle time.

I notice that valheim-updater reads $STEAMCMD_ARGS into its update command. I've tried setting my environment variables to include STEAMCMD_ARGS=-beta default_old, but still couldn't get the dedicated server to start up. Maybe I've made an implementation mistake, but it would be good for someone else to sanity-check me. If that IS the right way to specify a beta branch on this project, maybe I'm just asking for documentation.

I previously got this to work with the following line in valheim.env:

STEAMCMD_ARGS="-beta public-test -betapassword yesimadebackups"
