Retain repo version is not encouraged in Pulp Replica servers

[mchithu]

Version
pulpcore == 3.73.1
pulp_rpm == 3.29.0

Describe the bug
In the master upstream pulp server the retain repo version is set to 1/some value for many of the repositories. The retainr epo versions is not set in the replica server, hence all versions are maintained in the pulp replica server.

To Reproduce
Pulp replication from upstream pulp server.

Expected behavior
Replicate the repository versions from the upstream pulp server to the replica server also.

Additional context
Retain repo version is set to 1 in upstream pulp server.
