VersionInfo should support string output

See original GitHub issue

It may seem weird, but the VersionInfo object lacks the “opposite” thing of parsing a SemVer. I just like to have a str output like “3.0.0” from a VersionInfo - this is not implemented. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like

def to_str(self):
    return self.format_version(
        self.major, 
        self.minor,
        self.patch,
        self.prerelease,
        self.build
    )

So if you have a VersionInfo object you can print out the original/created string again (for saving in a DB e.g.):

>>> version = VersionInfo(3, 4, 5)
>>> print(version.to_str())
3.4.5
