Description

It would be cool if one could also narrow down the required openPMD-standard version while searching for openPMDConfig.cmake packages.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the openPMDConfig.cmake file is generated and how the openPMD api version is currently exposed. Then research CMake's find package version range syntax and consider adding a version file or config version to support narrowing the required openPMD standard version.
