Currently, az_devops_agent_version is only used when the agent is
installed for the first time. Changing/updating this variable after the
first installation does not result in an update of the agent (on Linux).
This commit changes things so that the agent is updated if the installed
version doesn't match the specified version.
Note that this change only applies to Linux (and is only tested there).
I did have a quick look at the Darwin and Windows implementations, and
they are sufficiently different to probably be not affected from this.
Also the documentation seems be already implying this new behavior, as
it reads: "az_devops_agent_version: Version of the installed agent
package. Should be periodically updated to the latest version". The last
part of the sentence doesn't result in any action currently (but will
after this change).
