Restrict NuGet update versions

Edit package.config and add allowedVersions; this attribute prevents certain assemblies from being force-updated.

1. package.config setting

<package id="Albireo.Base32" version="1.0.1.0" allowedVersions="[1.0.1.0]" targetFramework="net461" />

1. What allowedVersions means

5.2 means ≥ 5.2
(,8.2] means ≤ 8.2
(7.3,) means > 7.2
(,6.5) means < 6.5
Use [] to specify an exact version  

P.S. If you need to change many packages at once, you can use a regex to do a bulk replace:
version="([^"]*)" with version="$1\mathrm{"}allowedVersions=\mathrm{"}[1"\; allowedVersions="[$1]"
