Description

If I have version compat bounds `1.5 - 1.11`, and there's a 1.12 released, CompatHelper.jl should not suggest `1.5 - 1.11, 1` because I obviously have a good reason I am limiting to specific minor versions. CompatHelper.jl should do what GitHub's built in CI already does; it should suggest `1.5 - 1.12`.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the compat-bound update logic and its tests, then compare handling of `1.5 - 1.11` when `1.12` is available with GitHub CI’s behavior. Done means the suggestion becomes `1.5 - 1.12` rather than adding a separate `1` bound, with regression coverage.
