Swap to explicit "development" version on `main` (#14697)

* Swap to explicit "development" version on `main` for 2.3 cycle

We previously have kept `main` at the hypothetical "next" minor release,
then moved it "backwards" to (say) `2.1.0rc1` from `2.1.0`, branched the
new stable, and then immediately bumped `main` to `2.2.0`.

This changes our version workflow so that `main`'s version is
monotonically increasing, and is always explicitly a "development"
version.  The new workflow for the first release candidate of a minor
release is:

1. create a new branch from `main` called (e.g.) `stable/2.2`.  At this
   point, the version number of `main` and the new branch should both be
   `2.2.0.dev0`.

2. on the new stable branch, bump the version to `2.2.0rc1`.

3. on `main`, bump the version to `2.3.0.dev0`.

This commit also updates `docs/conf.py` to draw its version from the
Qiskit version string (to reduce the number of places we need to
update), and updates the C test harness to have it test against the Rust
expectations so that there's fewer different formats in use.

* Use reasonably sized buffers in string test

* Pivot back to tagging on main

* Update MAINTAINING.md
