Determine a method to version control profiles

[kammce]

How do we ensure that projects can use the version of profile for their application or library can keep using the same older profile? For the examples libhal-armcortex will be used.

Option 1

Have a set of folders, one for each version of the profile, like v1, v2, v3, etc. Each new version increments the version number. Put these in the conan/profiles/ directory. When the user does a conan config install of these profiles, they get all of them. Now any project that needs a particular profile can use it. Not sure how that affects libraries that have breaking profile changes. 🤔

Option 2

Do something like Option 1, but use github tags. The tags will at least let a user choose which profiles they want.

I don't know if these options actually fix the problem. But they are a starting point.
