Enable the semantic version mechanism for WAMR (#1374)
Use the semantic versioning (https://semver.org) to replace the current date
versioning system, which is more general and is requested by some developers,
e.g. issue #1357.

There are three parts in the new version string:
- major. Any incompatible modification on ABIs and APIs will lead to an increment
  in the value of major, which mainly includes: AOT calling conventions, AOT file
  format, wasm_export.h, wasm_c_api.h, and so on.
- minor. It represents new features, including MVP/POST-MVP features, libraries,
  WAMR private ones, and so one.
- patch. It represents patches.

The new version will start from 1.0.0. Update the help info and version showing for
iwasm and wamrc.

WAMR uses semantic versioning

WAMR uses the semantic versioning to replace the current date versioning system.

There are three parts in the new version string:

  • major. Any incompatible modification, on both ABI and APIs, will lead an increment in the value of major. APIs includes: wasm_export.h, wasm_c_api.h, sections in AOT files, and so on.
  • minor. It represents new features. It includes not just MVP or POST-MVP features but also WASI features and WAMR private ones.
  • patch. It represents patches.

Legacy versions

All legacy versions(tags) will keep their current status. No existed releasings names and links will be changed.
