Description
I think we need some documentation to explain what is the .bazelversion file and how/when it should be used.
I wonder if there's a way to make the check a bit less strict. For example, I couldn't use my Bazel 3.1.0 for a project that declares Bazel 3.0.0. Is there a syntax like `3.x.x` (or just `3`) to allow this?
Also, the error message said `The project you're trying to build requires Bazel 3.0.0`, but it didn't which version of Bazel I was using. And `bazel help` and `bazel version` were not working because of the version check.
