Description of the change:
Adds a new bundle-scoped "release" flag to the existing version property to allow for more sophisticated replacement strategies with improved transparency.
Adds a new substitutesFor catalog template to help folks trivially adopt the new approaches and avoid common error scenarios.

Motivation for the change:
As brief and RFC state, the imperative upgrade graph building process had a CSV attribute "substitutesFor" which allowed tooling to perform bundle-level replacement in resulting graphs. We had no equivalent FBC approach to the problem where there is a packaging-only change which we need to insert into an existing graph in a way that it didn't pretend to be the original bundle, but made it possible to prefer the new bundle over the old one, and even upgrade from the old to the new.

Please note that this repo's merge method is set to squash, so all of these commits will get squished to a single one even if I forget to do it manually.

They're preserved here mostly because there has been a lot of ground covered over the lifetime of this feature w.r.t. different implementation strategies, and I didn't want to lose that.

// Parse release version from the package property.
var relver semver.Version
if props.Packages[0].Release != "" {
relver, err = semver.Parse(fmt.Sprintf("0.0.0-%s", props.Packages[0].Release))

This would parse successfully if the value of props.Packages[0].Release was 1+1. We would correctly get an error from line 146, but it would be confusing to a user, I think, because we're leaking that we expect the release to only contain "prerelease", which is kind of a out of left field unless you know that we just happen to use prerelease syntax for our release value specification.

I think it may be better to do something like this: https://github.com/joelanford/operator-controller/blob/2cf768082d2e4f129e6ec82740afab55201cbd8e/internal/operator-controller/bundle/versionrelease.go#L79-L101

The reason that I wanted to use this approach is because I wanted to leverage the version.Compare and version.Validate (as well as PRVersion.Compare)... including all the consistent messaging that semver offers from version.Parse in addition to our layered-on validations.

…possible; fatal if annotation present and build metadata cannot represent release
