external tool upgrade: support constraints on added versions (#23043)

I often find myself wanting to do do something other than upgrading to
the absolute latest. For example, I might want to add the latest in a
patch series in hold back from a major semver change. This adds a
--version-constraint argument to help assist with those situations.

The default behavior is unchanged.

Notable limitations:
* Using packaging here, so not every idiosyncratic tool versioning
scheme is necessarily understood.
* There isn't a fast way to get an index of "all" the GitHub releases,
so there are heuristics and a flag around how many to consider.
