Allow special characters in Assembly InformationalVersion

[LazaroOnline]

Description

Allow any special character in Assembly InformationalVersion.
Added a parameter in the common function "CheckAndFormatString" to control whether or not special chars gets replaced.

New in 2nd commit:

Added a new config parameter: assembly-informational-is-semver that is true by default to make this backwards compatible.
If set to false then it allows any character in assembly-informational-version.

Thanks for this. But as I wrote in #2199 (comment), I'm hesitant to stop replacing special characters as consumers of the [AssemblyInformationalVersion] attribute generated by GitVersion may depend on special characters being replaced. See #2014 and #1520 for more information. I'll follow up the discussion with ideas for implementation in a non-breaking way in #2199.
