      Description

      Ensembl REST API can provide current version of REST services, Ensembl data and Ensembl API, see https://github.com/Ensembl/ensembl-rest/wiki/API-Versioning.
      We should:
      1) save the data version in the DBRefEntry for 'self' for retrieved Ensembl sequences
      2) warn the user (once only?) if the REST major version is not the one coded against / expected by Jalview
      3) sign up to dev.ensembl.org for early warning of any breaking changes to REST services
      4) test in advance against new services to allow a seamless transition when it occurs
