Bug Description
We version cluefiles, but don't make use of that information. We need a way to make sure that we don't load a cluefile that the current version can not deal with.
Proposal:
* ship versioned schemas in bughelper-data
* read clue file version out of clue file
* use the CLUE_FILE_VERSION to determine if we're compatible or not.
- incrementing the second number means additions we will simply ignore
- incrementing the first number means breakage, so we can't use that clue file
