…storage-bom to v2.39.1 (#2772)

This PR eliminates the need for:
 * `library_generation/owlbot/src/apply_repo_templates.py`
 * Passing the config yaml path to the postprocessing scripts

 ### How is it achieved?
 We set the environment variable `SYNTHTOOL_TEMPLATES` to point to a
 temp dir where we copy the contents of `owlbot/templates` plus a
 modification of the template using `sed` (instead of
 `synthtool.common_templates`). In this way, we avoid the usage of
 `apply_repo_templates.py`.
 generation_config.template_excludes.

 #### Why don't we use common_templates to pass libraries_bom_version?
 Because `owlbot.py` is a legacy script that was written when
 `java.common_templates` didn't take `libraries_bom_version` as a
 parameter. If we don't like this approach of having two template
 replacement workflows we could

 1. Modify all owlbot.py files
 2. Pass libraries_bom_version as an environment variable (not bad)

 #### What about template_excludes in the config yaml?
 We still need it to generate new libraries. This is done by rendering a
 new `owlbot.py` via templates.
