Document SDL_VERSIONNUM as able to encode larger minor versions 

Now that we've said this will be removed from SDL 3, we're free to use
any encoding that is compatible with existing SDL versions and will still
compare correctly for all SDL 2 version numbers. This allows the SDL 2
minor version to go beyond 1 digit, limited only by the size of
SDL_version.minor (which is 8 bits), making the largest possible version
number 2.255.99.

The patchlevel (micro version) is still limited to 2 digits.
