Show plugins with patch versions in plugin list

[Xpirix]

This PR is for the issue #223

Changes summary:

According to the discussion at #224 and #224 (comment), only request with major.minor QGIS version returns results in production because the plugins xml is pre-generated.

The suggestion in issue #223 is to include the plugins with patch versions in the plugin list :

As a short-term fix, I think we can assume the users are using the latest patch release and we should list the plugin in 3.16 list, even if it has minimumVersion=3.16.1.

Please find below a screenshot of a test plugin with minimumVersion=3.34.1:

EDIT: This PR should also fix the issue #74

Hi @Xpirix,
it looks like the issue is not yet fixed.
Please see the thread at https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2024-January/053900.html: the BADASS plugin experimental version 2.2 (which has Minimum QGIS Version: 3.34.2 and has been uploaded January 16th, 2024) is not listed in https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.34 while it is listed in https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.35

[agiudiceandrea]

It seems that such version is now listed in https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.34.

Hello @agiudiceandrea

Thanks for the feedback. I've just deployed this PR as it was not deployed before.

Best regards.

@Xpirix @agiudiceandrea nice to see progress here 👍

Would it be possible that the plugin list could be requested also with the patch version?

So for
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.34.1
the mentioned BADASS plugin with Minimum QGIS Version: 3.34.2 would NOT be included in the list
but for
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml?qgis=3.34.2
it would be included.

Here's a related stale PR on QGIS side to request with patch version: qgis/QGIS#47907

If the plugin repository would be able to answer requests with patch version we could revive this PR.

This is already tracked in #222.

Thanks @pathmapper

This is also tracked in #224 and I noticed @dimasciput 's comment (#224 (comment)):

@pathmapper yes this wont work because the production pre-generated the plugins xml, and the staging doesn't do that.
If we don't generate the plugins file, the server will crash since a lot of people requesting plugins every seconds.
And I don't think it's a good idea to generate each patch number at this moment.
Please check previous discussions #224 (comment)

@dimasciput @timlinux Could you give me some advice on that? Thanks.
