Description
It's surprising to me that `juliapkg` will automatically pick the latest compatible Julia version from `juliaup`'s list, even if it isn't installed, while a previous compatible version is available.
I'd prefer to default to using an installed version if it meets the Julia compat constraints. Partly this is because I want to have a way to keep a "recommended" version of Julia even if a newer version is available (see also #29).
Also, Julia Pkg now has the `PRESERVE_TIERED_INSTALLED` resolver mode that prefers to use compatible, already-installed versions of packages even if the registry has newer releases. It would be nice if `juliapkg` had a corresponding mode for Julia installation.
Could maybe make this behavior configurable?
