Title:
  Add version numbers to language packs

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As I touched on in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1180544 ,
  there's currently no way for a user looking at the langpacks site (
  http://langpacks.mahara.org/ ) to tell whether there's been an update
  to their language pack.

  Therefore, it would be useful if we added version numbers to the
  language packs. These could be placed in lang/langconfig.php,
  something like this:

  $string['release'] = '1.7.1'; // The Mahara release number this langpack was created for
  $string['version'] = '2013052700'; // Incremented on each new release of the langpack, using the current date.

  And the name of the langpack file could be changed to something along
  the lines of "vi-1.7_STABLE-2013052700.tar.gz".

  A related idea would be to have specific langpack releases tied to
  Mahara minor version releases, to support the case where a language
  string's name is changed in a minor version. In that case, you
  wouldn't want to upgrade your langpacks before your Mahara version has
  been upgraded. In that case you'd want langpack releases for each
  minor version, as well as maybe a "nightly" langpack release.

  vi-1.7.3.tar.tgz
  vi-1.7.4.tar.tgz
  vi-1.7_STABLE-2013052700.tar.gz
