extensions.json should permit minimum required extension version

[vorburger]

IMHO it would be neat if extensions.json would permit specifying the minimum required version of extensions.

This could be used when certain bugs are fixed in extensions which workspaces needs to work.

For example, I continuously keep forgetting that I really do 🤣 have to click "Switch to Pre-Release Version" (e.g. v1.24.101172020) for the "recommendations": [ "sfdc.bazel-vscode-java" in this extensions.json - because it won't work with the current e.g. v1.1.0 Release Version (yet).

So, in an ideal perfect world, I'd like to put (something like) "recommendations": [ "sfdc.bazel-vscode-java:v1.24.101172020" in the extensions.json.

I think you could keep this relatively simple and literally have only "version X or later", and not get fancy with semantic version ranges and what not.
