Proposal for how Carbon version numbers work:

A single version across language, standard library, compiler, linker, etc.
Semantic Versioning (SemVer) based
Details of how SemVer criteria for major, minor, and patch should apply to Carbon
Details of how we will operate before 1.0 and how this connects to Carbon's milestones
Directional guidance for future work including post-1.0 versions, LTS versions, and standardization
