Currently, bootstrap only supports major version package definitions. This prevents handling packages that exist only in specific minor versions of an OS. This commit adds documentation for the minor version support by: - Explaining how the wrapper checks minor version-specific sections first (e.g., [deps_sles16_1]) before falling back to the major version section (e.g., [deps_sles16]) - Documenting the same fallback logic for environment-type packages (e.g., [deps_sles16_1_kvm] -> [deps_sles16_kvm]) - Providing a clear example config usage in config/wrapper/env.conf - Highlighting that packages in [deps_sles16_1] are pre-requisite packages only for SLES 16.1 and will not affect other SLES 16.x versions Signed-off-by: Anushree-Mathur <anushree.mathur@linux.ibm.com>

Description
Currently, bootstrap only supports major version package definitions.
This prevents handling packages that exist only in specific minor
versions of an OS.
This commit adds documentation for the minor version support introduced
in PR #392 by:
first (e.g.,
[deps_sles16_1]) before falling back to the majorversion section (e.g.,
[deps_sles16])(e.g.,
[deps_sles16_1_kvm]→[deps_sles16_kvm])config/wrapper/env.conf[deps_sles16_1]are pre-requisitepackages only for SLES 16.1 and will not affect other SLES 16.x
versions
NOTE:
This same will work for any other distro versions! But here putting example for sles16.1 for understanding.
