better hugo version help #615
Description
From my troubleshooting help diaries-
> blogdown::install_hugo()
The latest Hugo version is v0.82.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have set the option 'blogdown.hugo.version' to '0.82' (perhaps in .Rprofile), but you are installing the Hugo version '0.82.0' now. You may want to update the option 'blogdown.hugo.version' accordingly.

Error: Hugo 0.82 not found. You may try blogdown::install_hugo("0.82").
This person didn't realize that Hugo versions need the trailing dot (so 0.82 is not equal to 0.82.0; this doesn't help!)- can the message that prints be clearer? Suggestion:
You have set the option 'blogdown.hugo.version' to '0.82' (perhaps in .Rprofile), but you are installing the Hugo version '0.82.0' now. You may want to update the option 'blogdown.hugo.version' accordingly.
Instead to be more actionable:
You are installing Hugo version '0.82.0' now.
● [TODO] To match your installed version, set `options(blogdown.hugo.version = "0.82.0")` in your .Rprofile.
And then maybe serve_site() could hint if the Hugo version is >= 0.54.0, that valid Hugo versions include two decimals?
