plugin declaration without version

Hi,

Currently in order for the aws plugin to be correctly installed it must be declared in .tflint.hcl with version and source parameters provided.
If you skip the version parameter it complains that you cannot only use the source one by itself.
If you skip the source parameter as well it cannot download and install the plugin at all.

Now if I have 200 repos containing TF code and for each I setup a pipeline for the repo to do tflint checks, each time you release a new version I have to go and edit the .tflint.hcl file in the repo that is used by the pipeline to reflect the new version of the aws plugin.
This results in 200 commits and PRs.

Can we instead utilize a keyword in the version like latest or $Latest or just make the version parameter optional and if not present the latest version of the plugin to be downloaded by default?
