Fixes #82.
Only return the latest version for major+minor python versions instead of returning all versions. Returning all versions is useless in the vast majority of cases.
As a refresher, we need to install python packages for multiple python versions when the package is a python extension (contains compiled code) as explained in https://rez-pip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#python-extensions-compiled.
Python extensions don't need to be re-compiled for every single major+minor+patch version of Python.
With this PR, if you have python 3.7.8, 3.7.9, 3.8.1, 3.8.4, 3.8.9 in your repository, running
rez-pip numpy
will result in numpy being installed for 3.7.9 and 3.8.9 instead of 3.7.8, 3.7.9, 3.8.1, 3.8.4, 3.8.9.
