[Python-ideas] Support 1.x notation in version specifiers

[anatoly techtonik]

pip team said they won't support setting limit for major version
of package being installed in the way below until it is supported
by PEP 440.

    pip install patch==1.x

The current way ==1.* conflicts with system shell expansion
and the other way is not known / not intuitive.
