I assume it is the list of Xcode versions the Apple has declared to be 
compatible with each macOS release.

I assume this is used by MacPorts to nag a user who upgrades their OS without 
also upgrading Xcode to a version compatible with that OS.

The file xcode_versions.ini lists the "supported" versions of xcode
for the individual MacOS versions. I wonder what exactly does it mean
for an xcode version to be there. Is there some test suite that verifies
that yes, indeed, this xcode version does work well wth this MacOS release?
Or does it simply mean it gets added there once Apple releases it?
