Library has no soversion

[susilehtola]

The library generated by the new CMake build system does not have a soversion.

EFV didn't seem enthusiastic in #231, so I didn't push it. I've recently read some packaging guidelines that were a lot laxer (said ok to use M.m.p version for soname), but unfortunately I can't find them now.

Oh, fwiw, the current master / latest v2.8.0 isn't the new CMake build system -- it's all the runtime changes from that work, not the buildtime overhaul.

I am open to soversion but honestly there need to be some pretty thorough guidelines. Trying to figure out what can trigger abi change for c++ is beyond mortals' ability. I don't know how to test for abi compatibility for example. Libint's built library is low level c++ so it is a bit easier, but this may change since most codes want to use c++. Also, the Fortran module stuff abi etc is beyond my normal horizon.

ABI Lab is the only tool I know of right off for automated guidance (openblas example). It does run 200 checks for c++ compliance but the repo hasn't been updated in a couple years. conda-forge doesn't use soversion for reasoning, so I haven't had a problem with its absence.
