No library versions in soname #3046

Description

In Unix world it's common for libraries to have version in soname (usually major and minor, major changes when there are backward incompatible ABI changes).

But current sonames for libraries don't have version info:
libSPIRV-Tools-link.so
libSPIRV-Tools-opt.so
libSPIRV-Tools-reduce.so
libSPIRV-Tools-shared.so
libSPIRV-Tools.so

From packaging POV (RPM in my case) .so files are usually symlinks to versioned library files and packaged to -devel (development) packages. Could be nice to see versioned library files/sonames and non-versioned -devel symlinks here too.
