[OSGeoLive] QuickStarts - question about updating the version number

[Cameron Shorter]

The intent of the version number was to specify the lastest version of 
OSGeoLive the Quickstart was written and tested against. Ideally this 
should be the latest version of OSGeoLive, but if the docs haven't been 
updated for a few releases, then this field should demonstrate that the 
doc is out of date (and hence should be reviewed, or the reader should 
expect possible errors.)

So your original feeling that you should set version number to 13.0 was 
correct.

Thinking about this, we probably should make this information visible in 
the published docs rather than it being hidden in comments.
