Use a separately incremented integer to track the configuration file
format version. We start with 2 due to the change that 23c3a951f6
introduced. 1 is declared to be equivalent to the original '0.10'.
The separate versioning has the advantage of being able to increment it
already during the development cycle, and using it with config files
that test/exploit the new format.
Using an integer has the advantages of a) differentiating it clearly
from the now independent kas version and b) simplifying the version
parsing. We can now also remove the string type restriction.

If the configuration file structure changes over time, it might
introduce incompatibilities.
This patch introduces versioning of configuration file.
Configuration files needs to add a 'version' entry into their 'header'
like this:
header:
version: '0.9'
After loading this file, the version is checked agains kas version.
Every version 'M.m.p' of kas is allowed to load configuration files with
version 'M.m' and all versions backwards up to and including
the '__compatible_version__' from kas/__version__.py
