permissions= argument for patching over permission differences between 1.0 and <1.0

[simonw]

As proposed here:

• Consider releasing a 0.65 with some forwards compatibility for 1.0 simonw/datasette#2335 (comment)

from datasette_test import Datasette

ds = Datasette(
    plugin_config={"datasette-extract": "..."},
    permissions={"manage-secrets": {"id": "admin"}}
)

Where that permissions= thing uses config={"permissions": ...} for Datasette 1.0a+ and some more complex plugin-based mechanism for <1.0.

Ran into this bug:

(Pdb) datasette.version.__version_info__
('1', '0a13')
(Pdb) datasette.version.__version_info__  < ("1", "0a8")
True

0a13 is incorrectly returning as a lower version that 0a8. Fix is to do this: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/comparing-version-numbers

from packaging.version import parse

v_1_0 = parse("1.0")
v_1_0a13 = parse("1.0a13")
v_0631 = parse("0.63.1")
