Remove hidden feature for providing package revision updates through the version #29

Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

A few years ago there was added support to the version number which allowed package revision numbers to be added when creating a new package.
However this is never being used outside of a select few, and there is no support for it anywhere else other than local repositories.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

The solution is to remove this feature, due to a lack of support on repositories including our own Chocolatey Community repository, and because it diverges from the NuGet spec quite heavily.

Additional Context.

This came up as a discussion we had internally, where it was decided that continuing to keep the feature available does not make any sense as it is unlikely that support for it will be made available on repository sources that Chocolatey CLI is able to use.

This additionally leads to a discussion that needs to be had regarding the immutability of the Chocolatey Community Repository. No such discussion has yet taken place.
