We now have a (format) version and a setting version. Ideally we'd like major-minor version numbers in our profiles. However, introducing major-minor version numbers requires substantial changes to the version upgrade manager to compare version numbers, find a path towards the current version, or even keeping track of the current version. Therefore we just collapse the two version numbers into one: Multiply the major version number by a million and you'll never exceed it in the minor versioning. The only problem is that we now have to update the versioning for all of our three upgrade plug-ins, because they all need to know locally how to find the version number of their file types (because the upgrade manager has no knowledge of the file types) and they have no access to each other because a plug-in may be disabled.

Two big things had to happen for this: The resource types of quality and machine stack have to be defined before the initialisation of the version upgrade manager, since the version upgrade manager needs to know those storage locations at initialisation. But the storage location is still prefaced with '.config/UM' at this point, so instead we pass on the resource type (but the resource type still has to be defined before the init).
The other big change is that we now have to name the configuration type 'quality' and 'machine_stack' instead of 'instance_container' and 'container_stack' to coincide with the resource type. This allows us to be more consistent in later plug-ins when we also have to upgrade other instance container types.

I just couldn't stand it...
'I have to sort my books', she cried
With self-indulgent glee
With senseless, narcissistic pride:
'I'm just so OCD'
'How random, guys', I smiled and said
Then left without a peep
And washed my hands until they bled
And cried myself to sleep

After settings rework, we decided to make the upgrade plug-ins define their own configuration types. This is basically the definition for these configuration types. Only the get_version function is not yet implemented.

This plug-in does nothing at the moment. It merely says that it is able to upgrade configuration from version 2.1 to 2.2, but then raises exceptions when you actually try to use it. This is by design. I will now implement the functions that do the conversion.
