### Link to issue number:
None
### Summary of the issue:
The add-on datastore has certain expectations of an add-on manifest.
These expectations are not required to work with NVDA, but require
manifests to updated to be hosted on the add-on datastore.
We may want to make these changes in a future API breaking release, and
add validation to enforce them.
### Description of user facing changes
None
### Description of development approach
Updates the add-on manifest spec to match the requirements of the add-on
store better.
We may want to add validation for these requirements in a future API
breaking release.

Does it mean that in the future, X.Y.Z will be mandatory?
For now, I have not dealt with beta versions. However, I was hoping to use version names such as "4.3beta1". "4.3.1" does not indicate clearly to the user that it is a beta version. Having a version name indicating clearly which version is a beta and which not in the add-on manager (or in the future add-on store) would be a plus IMO.
Same for dev versions even if I personally do not plan to release dev versions of my add-ons.

submissions with these formats may not be valid for the add-on store. The add-on store requires a major.minor.pitch version scheme.
This current PR just proposes encouraging authors to follow the standards for the add-on store when making a manifest, not force any mandatory changes.
It's still an open question whether or not we add validation enforcing major.minor.patch in all add-on manifests, not just submissions to the add-on store.
This would not be until a breaking release of course.
