Issue:
Rule version specifier should allow for multiple versions
If the rule is only valid for set of versions, ie rule was introduced in RF 5 but will not make sense after RF 8:

```
version=">=5;<8"
```

We can use ";" in version specifier to separate different versions. Rule will be only enabled if it matches all conditions from the list.

Pull request:
Allow for multiple RF versions in rule rf version specifier
Closes #1026

+Rule version matching allows for multiple Robot Framework versions (#1026)

+When defining a rule it was possible to define Robot Framework version for which rule was enabled. Is is now also
