Just ignore the "latest" alias. It's ambiguous with our modern release policy and thus should be avoided.

I propose to introduce the following aliases for numeric tarantool versions for the tarantool-version field and update them in sync with our release cycle https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/dev_guide/release_management/.
(Release series and releases are pointed just for example. They are actual at the moment of writting, 2020-12-24, but may be not actual at the time of reading this issue.) Alias Release series Release alpha 2.7 2.7.0 beta 2.6 2.6.1 stable 2.5 2.5.2 oldstable 2.4 2.4.3 lts 1.10 1.10.8 latest ? ?
I don't know, whether it would be better to point latest to stable, beta or even alpha. It is subject to discuss.
Those aliases are convenient, when one want to verify a module (a connector, a tool) against all actual tarantool versions and don't bother with updating the numeric versions every quarter. I think the feature would be useful as for per-push testing (to verify changes in the module) as well as for nightly testing (to verify the module against changes in tarantool).

We should revisit those aliases in context of the new versioning policy: https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/discussions/6182. See also #19.
