Title: apt: support version wildcards.

not supporting wildcards is a bug, not a lack of a feature. it's especially problematic on packages that are updated frequently (bash had five versions within a few days from bashpocalypse).

putting this on dev, but if the next version isn't shipping soon let me know and I'll patch the current version for a dot release.

code is by @bryanlarsen. manually recommitted since ansible was split into a few repositories before it was merged. links:
