Enable loose matching when searching for versions #446
Description
Current
Precondition: Having Xcode 16.4 installed
Running xcodes installed 16 returns with error 16.0 is not installed. 🙁
Expectation
Running xcodes installed 16 should ignore the minor and patch versions and find all Xcode versions with 16.x
When I specifically want to check for 16.4 I can run xcodes installed 16.4...
A parameter strict which we can set to false would be awesome OR even better, loose matching becomes the new default, like e.g. for semver matching (upToNextMajor / upToNextMinor) in SPM 👍

+1. Usually the Xcode versions are only Major.Minor but currently there's Xcode 26.0.1 which breaks the pattern. Our validation scripts that use
xcodesto get the Xcode path fail sincexcodes installed 26.0is not returning the path to the installed26.0.1version.
