It can basically be any character; anything that works right with
strverscmp().  For sanity we probably want to stick to [0-9a-z.].  

Upstream refpolicy versioning is x.y.z, where z is incremented every
time the module changes, y is incremented on a upstream release if the
module has changed since the last release (i.e. z != 0), and x is
incremented on major changes to the module.
