Add swift version file to record the Swift toolchain to use#509
Conversation

@swift-ci test |
When working with SwiftBuild, there is a particular version that development is expected to use so that all of the compilers, standard libraries, test frameworks, etc. are expected to be working. The `.swift-version` file establishes a standard way to record this information. Also, there is tooling available through `swiftly` to use that information to automatically use the correct toolchain in any git commit to set the developer's toolchain when they run and test the package functions at desk. Create the `.swift-version` file and set it to the current expected toolchain version: 6.1.

I think we need to update the README in conjunction with this? There we're saying that Xcode 16.2 is supported, which ships with Swift 6.0.3. |
Well, it should at least say "or later", it doesn't make sense to say that an exact version is supported. But I don't think we broke it. |
Right, we didn't break it, yet, but this PR also ensures that we won't really test it anymore (presuming we'll follow the |
Sounds fine to me. |

According to #523, it looks like we did break it, so I think we should update the README to say Xcode 16.3, then. |

Let's handle the versioning separately; CI is still on 16.2 actually, so technically we can't claim to require 16.3 quite yet. |
