Fixes #370.

The InstallationTarget version under Microsoft.VisualStudio.Ssms is the SSMS product version, not the VS shell version. The previous [17.0,) installed fine (SSMS 21/22 are both >= 17) but the SSMS Gallery rendered the lower bound literally as "Supports SSMS 17 SSMS 18". This switches to [21.0,23.0) — the form ErikEJ's SqlCeToolbox uses — so the gallery shows "SSMS 21 / SSMS 22", and clarifies the <Description>.

Confirmed with @ErikEJ (gallery maintainer) on the issue thread.

Test plan

  • Rebuilt the VSIX from the edited manifest; confirmed [21.0,23.0) is in the packaged extension.vsixmanifest.
  • Uninstalled the existing extension from SSMS 22 (VSIXInstaller exit 0).
  • Reinstalled the rebuilt VSIX into SSMS 22 — VSIXInstaller exit 0, confirming SSMS accepts [21.0,23.0).
  • Verified the deployed manifest shows Version=[21.0,23.0) for both amd64 and arm64.

The InstallationTarget version under Microsoft.VisualStudio.Ssms is the SSMS
product version, not the VS shell version. The old [17.0,) installed fine (21
and 22 are both >= 17) but the SSMS Gallery rendered the lower bound literally
as "Supports SSMS 17 SSMS 18". Switch to [21.0,23.0) (the form ErikEJ's
SqlCeToolbox uses) so the gallery shows "SSMS 21 / SSMS 22", and clarify the
description.

Verified end to end: rebuilt the VSIX and confirmed SSMS 22's VSIXInstaller
accepts [21.0,23.0) (uninstall + reinstall both exit 0).
