Research direction

Start with the official Poetry installation script and trace how the POETRY_VERSION environment variable is read and resolved. Support the example range and caret requirement forms, and verify that each selects an acceptable Poetry version during installation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I would be nice if you could set a version requirement instead of a fixed version for the poetry version to be installed. I.e.:

POETRY_VERSION=">2.0.1,<=2.1.2"
POETRY_VERSION="^2.0.0"
