sbt-scalafix 0.9.7 uses older semanticdb incompatible with Scala 2.13.3

[exoego]

Current latest sbt-scalafix 0.9.7 with the default scalafixSemanticdb.revision are failing to download semanticdb-scalac_2.13.3.
So, if the default scalafixSemanticdb.revision is used, sbt-scalafix is not usable for project using Scala 2.13.3:

[error] (myProject / update) sbt.librarymanagement.ResolveException: Error downloading org.scalameta:semanticdb-scalac_2.13.3:4.3.14
[error]   Not found

[error]   not found: /home/vagrant/.ivy2/local/org.scalameta/semanticdb-scalac_2.13.3/4.3.14/ivys/ivy.xml

If semanticdbVersion is manually configured to 4.3.18, sbt-scalafix works:

inThisBuild(
  List(
    semanticdbEnabled := true,
    // semanticdbVersion := scalafixSemanticdb.revision, 
    semanticdbVersion := "4.3.18", 
    Configs.isProductionRelease := false
  )
)

However, I would like to avoid overriding scalafixSemanticdb.revision as much as possible, since it is uncelar which version of scalameta is compatible with sbt-scalafix.
And, the specified version won't be updated when newer sbt-scalafix is released...

I expect sbt-scalafix automatically find latest scalameta version, or new version of sbt-scalafix aligning are published when new version of scalameta published.

This was fixed on master by #1179, so it's pending release.

Regarding automating that: as you probably saw, we have scala steward helping us keeping upstream dependencies up to date, and #1146 will soon make it possible to bump scalafix-core (and thus semanticdb) independently of sbt-scalafix (which will make the release process easier and thus reduce delays), so the situation should improve.

Thanks.
I will open a PR for scala-steward-org/scala-steward#1514 so Scala Steward can update semanticdbVersion too.
