Bug 1455337 started mangling the app version into both the langpack version and strict_min_version. It turns out using the mangled version as langpack version means firefox ignores legitimate updates. So we keep the mangled `major.0` as the "min version", but the langpack's version itself should be bumped on every minor release so firefox knows to update to it. We also split the buildid part of the version number so that nsVersionComparator::compare can order them properly, e.g. for beta builds where the app version doesn't change.

If you have a question about developing Firefox, and can't find the solution
on https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/, you can try asking your question on Matrix at chat.mozilla.org in `Introduction` (https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#introduction:mozilla.org) channel.

Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Firefox developers for
testing, may be buggy.
