tpm2-tools 5.0 consolidates all tools into a single busybox-style binary, so the preferred way to invoke the commands would be e.g. "tpm2 createprimary" instead of "tpm2_createprimary". However, compatibility symlinks tpm2_* -> tpm2 are installed by default, so we keep the old syntax for tpm2-tools 5.0 to avoid creating another special case, since the option syntax has not changed (it should be stable since version 4). tpm2-tools 3.X is deprecated, but unfortunately still packaged by a few Linux distributions, so keep supporting it for now at least.

A release candidate for tpm2-tools 5.0 has been tagged. Since we explicitly check the major version of the tools (to support the incompatible versions 3.X and 4.X), the allowed version range needs to be expanded.
