Implementation of the independent feature from ADVbumpversion

[andrivet]

This is an implementation (back port) of the independent feature from ADVbumpversion, as discussed in #121. This feature implements #81. If this PR can be merged, I will close ADVbumpversion fork and redirect people to bump2version.

Thanks, would be great to 'merge user bases' with ADVbumpversion!

[andrivet]

As soon as the new version of bump2version is released, I will put the ADVbumpversion GitHub project in Archived state, and change the README to explain how to migrate to bump2version (since the syntax is a little bit different when using the same file in different rules). I will also probably shutdown the project on PyPi or make it clear that it is deprecated.

Also, if you need help for bump2version, let me know.

Good stuff, and it's great to consolidate projects!

Could you rebase on master?

Surely, the pull request backlog could use some love.

Supporting Python 3.9 and 3.10 would be great!

But it is already the case.

Master branch has been updated in the meantime...

"This branch is 3 commits ahead, 4 commits behind c4urself:master. "

Any plan to make a new release and update the Pypi version? I am waiting for this in order to kill my fork and redirect people to this project.

I still have permissions on this project, but I lack time. If a PR is prepared to do the release I'd be happy to merge it and push it to PyPI.

On a related note, I think we should add more maintainers. @florisla thoughts on adding @andrivet as a maintainer?
