Description
Currently, it's possible to set a required SwiftLint version through the swiftlint_version config property. The problem with this is that it makes it impossible to use newer SwiftLint versions with the config, since it expects an exact version. I have many .swiftlint.yml files, and I have manually go through them all every time I upgrade SwiftLint.
I see two possible solutions:
- Add a
mimimum_swiftlint_versionproperty that enforces that the SwiftLint version is at least the given version. - Make the
swiftlint_versionproperty support a semver range, so I could use something likeswiftlint_version: '>=0.30.1'.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the swiftlint_version property is parsed from .swiftlint.yml files and how the installed SwiftLint version is compared. Determine whether the implementation should add a minimum-version property or support semver ranges, then verify that newer compatible SwiftLint versions are accepted without requiring updates to every configuration file.
