BiocCheck should allow versions x.99.z, for x other than 0 #101

Currently

* Checking new package version number...
    * ERROR: New package version starting with 0.99.* (e.g., 0.99.0,
      0.99.1, ...); got 2.99.1.

but since the package has already been released through other channels as 2.5.z, it seems like the right thing to do is to use version 2.99.0 for a new '3.0.0' release in Bioconductor. The check should be a warning or perhaps note, or at least point to a discussion in the vignette.

I think the majority of packages we want to have come in at 0.99.0 with the exception if it has already been released and utilized under the higher version 1.0.0 etc and we would still want to have 1.99.z or 2.99.z indicating a x version bump when officially released in Bioconductor ... I will update to a warning and clarify the message, and add or update a section in the vignette with more detail.
Cheers
