Adding a flag that would be considered by mix deps.update for updating 
dependencies only to the latest patch or minor version, without bumping 
minor or major.

Example:

package "magico" has the following releases:
- 1.0.0
- 1.0.3
- 1.6.0
- 1.6.4
- 2.0.0

Project "example"'s mix.lock file defines "magico" 1.0.0

running the following commands in the project would have the following 
outcomes

`mix deps.update magico` would update to 2.0.0
`mix deps.update magico --patch-version` would update to 1.0.3
`mix deps.update magico --minor-version` would update to 1.6.4

REASON:

Facilitating the maintainance cycle of a project by allowing quicker, safer 
dependencies bumps by updating only to the latest patched version.
