Version numbers of tests

Upon running the canonical_data_check.sh script, I’ve noticed that a large number of exercises either do not have ./meta/version files, or the exercises are out of date.

I think this could make a good number of new issues (though possibly not good-first-patch if updates to test suites require re-implementing the reference solution), and in my opinion it would be good to try and keep these up to date.

The output from the script currently is:

@exercism/java let me know what you guys think, and we can begin to action this 👍

Thanks @FridaTveit - I might try a couple of the normal issues and see exactly what’s involved for a fix 🙂

I like the sound of the second option 🙂

It never hurts to have a few more good first patch issues, plus as they’re so small they may all get picked up very quickly (and by the same person). I agree the others should be opened as normal other issues 🙂
