Allow Puppet major version selection

[d1nuc0m]

Summary of the new feature
I think it would be useful to be able to also select a major version for puppet.editorService.puppet.version instead of a specific version.

For example, it is possible to specify to use 7.27.0, but as soon as the pdk is updated on the system, the extensions throws an error like Unable to use Puppet version '7.27.0' as it is not available. Using version '8.6.0' instead.. Sometimes only the choice of the major version, like 7.x, is relevant instead of the specific pdk release, so it'd be nice to be able to have a selection like 7.* instead of changing the editor settings at each update (I have tried expression like 7*, but to no result)

@jordanbreen28 @LukasAud as it was marked completed, is it possible to select a major Puppet version? Or is it a "won't fix" closure? 😅

@d1nuc0m ah; that was a mistake! I'll re-open! We do think this should make it's way into puppet-vscode, but have been unable to commit to this. If you think this is something you'd like to help out with, we'd be thrilled to accept a PR for this. Otherwise we will try get round to this when we can. Thanks @d1nuc0m

Thanks a lot :D

If you think this is something you'd like to help out with, we'd be thrilled to accept a PR for this.

I've never worked on a vscode plugin, but I'll have a look at it and open a PR if I can get something promising - meanwhile can we keep the issue open if someone else is interested/can contribute?
