It's surprising to me that juliapkg will automatically pick the latest compatible Julia version from juliaup's list, even if it isn't installed, while a previous compatible version is available.

I'd prefer to default to using an installed version if it meets the Julia compat constraints. Partly this is because I want to have a way to keep a "recommended" version of Julia even if a newer version is available (see also #29).

Also, Julia Pkg now has the PRESERVE_TIERED_INSTALLED resolver mode that prefers to use compatible, already-installed versions of packages even if the registry has newer releases. It would be nice if juliapkg had a corresponding mode for Julia installation.

Could maybe make this behavior configurable?
