Description
It would be nice to be able to parse a version with a trailing wildcard (e.g. requirements-parser==0.5.*), as defined in PEP440.
I don't now much the library, maybe supporting such versions would break things.

Research direction
Read the PEP 440 definition of trailing wildcards and trace how requirements-parser currently parses version specifiers. Add support for an example such as requirements-parser==0.5.*, then add or run parser tests confirming that the wildcard form is accepted without breaking existing requirements.
