Subject: [PATCH] config: stamp sentinel version on dev builds to stop
 migration re-fire
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Dev / git-cloned installs carry "@project-version@" in the toc, which
pfUI normalizes to pfUI.version.string = "dev". MigrateConfig was
writing that literal back into pfUI_config.version; on the next /reload
checkversion() parsed "dev" through tonumber() → nil → 0, evaluated
curversion as 0/0/0, and re-fired every version-gated migration block.
The >3.6.1 buff migration unconditionally rewrites buffs.{buffs,debuffs,
weapons} from the legacy global.hide{,w}buff knobs, so user toggles for
those checkboxes were getting wiped on every reload.

Stamp "999.999.999" on dev builds so subsequent comparisons turn false.
Affected users will need to re-toggle the buffs/debuffs/weapon-buffs
checkboxes once after this update.

Refs #7.
