Add ability to view Deno runtime docs for prior versions

[jsejcksn]

At https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable, I can see the runtime type docs for Deno's builtin APIs. This is great if I'm working with the latest stable version of Deno. However, if I need to reference a prior release version's docs, I don't see a way to do that in a web browser.

Is there a URL pattern I can use to generate docs for a prior release (e.g. v1.6.3)? If so, I wasn't able to discover it, and I think it would help to include this information in the docs website (or even better: include a <select> element with all of the release versions like on deno.land/std). If not, please consider this a feature request.

You can go to https://doc.deno.land/builtin/VERSION to get version data for specific deno versions.

• Deno v1.0.0 Crypto Interface: https://doc.deno.land/builtin/v1.0.0#Crypto

• Deno v1.16 Crypto Interface: https://doc.deno.land/builtin/v1.16.0#Crypto

Thanks @sno2. How did you discover that URL pattern, and how would I form a companion URL for the unstable APIs?

@jsejcksn doc website is currently undergoing major rework by @kitsonk and we should provide a version selector there. Expect announcement in the coming weeks.

Now that the rework is live, it seems like the patterns that @sno2 listed are no longer valid. I can see

Version
latest

on the left sidebar, but there doesn't appear to be any interaction available. Is there a new pattern I can use with the updated site?

As mentioned in denoland/docland#47, the ability is there, just not documented. (E.g. https://doc.deno.land/deno/stable@v1.16.0) it just isn't documented and the other issue will track that.
