(maint) Add semantic versioning info to README

This patch adds semantic versioning information to the README of this
module.  This information is missing and unclear without this patch.
This should help clarify the support matrix for the Standard Library as
it relates to Puppet Enterprise released versions.

+# Versions #
+
+This module follows semver.org (v1.0.0) versioning guidelines.  The standard
+library module is released as part of [Puppet
+Enterprise](http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-enterprise/) and as a result
+older versions of Puppet Enterprise that Puppet Labs still supports will have
+bugfix maintenance branches periodically "merged up" into master.  The current
+list of integration branches are:
+
+ * v2.1.x (v2.1.1 released in PE 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3, 1.2.4)
+ * v2.2.x (Never released as part of PE, only to the Forge)
+ * v2.3.x (Scheduled for next PE feature release)
+ * master (mainline development branch)
+
+The first Puppet Enterprise version including the stdlib module is Puppet
+Enterprise 1.2.
