This ensures that checks for features should work, and bails early if
that is not the case, since if this fails the binary is essentially
broken. This also simplifies code that performs these checks, ie instead
of:
binaryVersion, err := version.GetReleaseVersion()
if err != nil {
// handle error? panic?
}
if version.SupportsFeature(binaryVersion, version.FeatureA) {
// code for FeatureA
} else {
// without FeatureA
}
Implementations can do:
if version.SupportsFeature(version.Binary, version.FeatureA) {
// code for FeatureA
} else {
// without FeatureA
}
