It’d be a useful feature of the package manager if it could accept a version number (as an optional argument) to InstallPackage. This would be useful, for example, when using the PackageManager in continuous integration.

I support this request. Today I ran into the following problem:
A package is already installed but its version is too old.
Thus I want to call InstallPackage programmatically but in a non-interactive way.
In this case, the function returns without trying to install the known newer version.
(If a version number is supported as an optional argument to InstallPackage then its meaning should be as in LoadPackage: "Take this version or a higher one except if the string starts with =".)

(I did not add tests of the new functionality,
first we should discuss whether the proposed change does what we want.)
