Description
Add ability to request minimum version of cmake-init base-projects in `find_package`.
The CMake documentation suggests to generate and deploy a [Package Version File](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-packages.7.html?highlight=project%20version#package-version-file). Besides `template-config.cmake`, projects would than also deploy `template-config-version.cmake` and allow to be included via calls like `find_package(template_foo 2.0 REQUIRED)`.
As far as I can see, there is currently no way for users to check in CMake for versions of cmake-init-based projects, which is quite unfortunate.
