Use semantic versioning for released versions of the crawler

[elrayle]

Description

The production crawler has been using incremental numbers for versions. This issue proposes switching to use Semantic Versioning. This approach to versioning makes it easier for downstream users to gauge the level of change from the version number.

As part of this work, releases will be documented using GitHub releases. This provides information about what changed and what actions are required to update to the new release.

The deploy process, at this time, continues to be through Azure Dev Ops for production crawler. Each deploy begins with a release that is created under semver. The creation of semver releases through GH completes this issue. Related work to deploy via GH action is pending completion of work for for #539.

The crawler is now released using semver.
