Change version numbering practice: main is now next

Browse Source 
We have been keeping main's version at the last released version, but
starting now, main's version will always be whatever it would be if
a release were cut from the tip of main.

VERSIONS
* The version number on the main branch is whatever the version would
be if the top of the branch were released. If the most recent
release is version a.b.c, then
* If there are any ABI-breaking changes since the last release,
main's version is a+1.0.0
* Else if there is any new public API, main's version is a.b+1.0
* Else if there are any code changes, main's version is a.b.c+1
* Whenever we bump the version number, bump shared library versions as
well.
* Every released major/minor version has an a.b branch which is used
primarily for documentation but could potentially be used to create
a new patch release after main has moved on. We don't do that as a
rule, but there's no reason we couldn't do it if main had unreleased
ABI/API changes that were still in flux and an important bug fix was
needed on the most recent release. In that case, a release can be
cut from a release branch and then either main can be rebased from
there or the changes can be merged back, depending on the amount of
drift.
