+- [Feature] Add integer variables `TUTOR_VERSION_MAJOR`, `TUTOR_VERSION_MINOR`, and `TUTOR_VERSION_PATCH` to the template context. These are parsed from the existing `TUTOR_VERSION` string variable, which takes the format `"MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH"`. We add them as a convenience to developers who need to maintain version-agnostic Tutor plugins (by @michaelwheeler).
