support for maximum version

[psifertex]

When building a python plugin that loads/installs a native plugin, it would be great if there was support for maximum version. This would, for example, make it obvious before installing a plugin that it wasn't compatible with dev.

We should also add support for a full semver comparison instead of just the build.

Additionally, it would be a nice addition if we could go ahead and say that a plugin is only compatible with a certain branch or set of branches in addition to the version constraints.

Closing this here as we're tracking this as a part of our migration to the new extension manager and updated plugin manager format which supports a maximum version.

@psifertex Is there another public issue for that that you can link to to maintain context/continuity? And/or a potential timeline?

[psifertex]

It's technically already supported but only for official plugins. At this point keep an eye out on the blog which is where we'll be releasing information on the new system when it's available. I expect it in the "G" release.

@psifertex Cool, thanks for the info :)
