For Keyman for Android, add the new `keyman-version` parameter to the api.keyman.com/package-version call so that updates to packages that are not supported on the current version of Keyman will not be offered. This supports the scenario where an updated keyboard or lexical model depends on a newer version of Keyman. Note that an older version of the keyboard or lexical model package will not be offered (the user can still download and install an older version manually, but generally, the recommended solution is to upgrade Keyman; there would be significant cost to add support for querying and installation of older version keyboards on the server side, for limited benefit). Relates-to: keymanapp/api.keyman.com#325

User Testing
TEST_UPGRADE: Install an older version of a keyboard and lexical model from downloads.keyman.com, and then check for updates, and verify that the packages are updated successfully.
TEST_MISSING_KEYBOARD: Create a keyboard package with an id that is not on Keyman Cloud, and install it. Check for updates and verify that the app functions correctly and does not offer updates for the keyboard.
TEST_MISSING_MODEL: Create a model package with an id that is not on Keyman Cloud, and install it. Check for updates and verify that the app functions correctly and does not offer updates for the keyboard.
(It is not currently possible to test the scenario where a keyboard/model requires a newer Keyman version in the app, but the outcome should be identical to the missing keyboard/model outcome.)
