[OE-core] [PATCH 1/2] devtool: add a 'latest-version' command

[Alexander Kanavin]

This command queries the upstream server for what the latest release is and prints
the output; it is a much neater way to find out these things than fumbling with distrodata,
'bitbake -c checkpkg' and awkward to read csv output in a file.

Examples:

python3 (tarballs):
NOTE: Current version: 3.5.3
NOTE: Latest version: 3.6.3

rpm (git):
NOTE: Current version: 4.13.90
NOTE: Latest version: 4.14.0
NOTE: Latest version's commit: da3720f62e57648fb1dc2a632744d38866139971

puzzles (git without version tags):
NOTE: Latest commit: ee8ea9b9785964694cb2b3ad77c3fb2460f49510
