Create exercise versioning policy based on Haskell track

See original GitHub issue

Exercism tracking issue: https://github.com/exercism/exercism/issues/4786

Note: This is not the same as https://github.com/exercism/exercism/issues/4266 which removed tracking versions from the user code.

Proposed implementation for JavaScript

In package.json change the version number to match the x.y.z of test data versioning, and add .q which we always increment if a change is made without a sync (new test data): x.y.z.q.

I was planning to add versions to package.json files but I guess there are more options being discussed in https://github.com/exercism/discussions/issues/239. We will wait for a decision to be made over there.

Haskell’s versioning policy was decided in exercism/haskell#522, implemented in exercism/haskell#523 and documented in exercism/haskell#716. In particular, the main benefit of having a fourth serial version number is that you can track changes to any part of the exercise files given to a user.

Having only the canonical version means you can keep the exercise up-to-date with canonical tests.
