[Feature Request - Profile Manager]: Add a button to increment version numbers following SemVer

[Guts]

Context

During Autumn 2024, we made a huge contribution to the Profile Manager project to make it more robust and integrate it with QDT to make it a kind of graphical editor for QDT profiles. See: WhereGroup/profile_manager#10.

Concretely, it's now possible to import/edit a QGIS profile and export it in a QDT compatible way:

Now, we're looking forward to continue the good work and improve the QDT integration within the plugin.

Description

The version number of a QDT profile (profile.json) does matter important, as it can be used to trigger updates for an installed profile when synchronized with a centralized version using the sync_mode option of the Profiles Synchronizer job (see documentation).

Since semantic versioning (SemVer) is a technical concept, not all end users may be comfortable handling it. We propose adding buttons to facilitate profile version updates:

• one to increment the major version (first digit),
• one to increment the minor version (second digit),
• one to increment the patch version (third digit).

Optionally, users could input key changes made since the last version, which would be stored in a CHANGELOG.md file, for example.
