Adding Notes about Composer Version Constraints.

[jonpugh]

This explains that to upgrade drupal with the composer update command you have to change the drupal/core version constraint.

Maybe we should suggest the wildcard version constraint, it's a little easier to understand I think...

If you use ~8.4 it could be 8.5, 8.6, etc.
If you use 8.* it could also be 8.5, 8.6, etc, but you don't see the older version and wonder why.

Seems more intuitive.

I'm fine with either version constraint. However, we might not need all this general info as the default for new install is the caret notation ("^8.6.0") which always all minor updates. In the Drupal.org docs I just wrote:

If you are upgrading from 8.5 to 8.6, you need to replace "~8.5.x" with "^8.6.0" for drupal/core and webflo/drupal-core-require-dev in composer.json

That line can eventually be removed ...
