openplugins: allow plugins to specify the version of suricata they are for

Still needs some thought. But would happen at plugin registration time.

I think we are OK to break the API at major version points, ideally we won't but I don't think its a promise we can make.

There are 2 things here:
- A plugin build should have the ability to check the version of Suricata it is building against. But that's going to be highly depending on the build tool.
- Encode the version in the binary so a plugin built for 7 will fail to load in 8, which is the focus of this ticket.
