Supported argocd versions are unclear

[bo0ts]

Describe the bug
The operator installs a default version of argocd. It is not clear from the documentation if it is possible to also deploy other argocd versions with a given operator version. The argocd CRD has a version field, but the documentation is rudimentary.

Expected behavior
Clear documentation on which versions can be deployed with a given operator version (e.g. operator release 0.12.0, supports all argocd versions 0.12.X).

Additional context
There is a bugfix in a argocd minor release which I would like to deploy using the argocd-operator. Also the argocd-operator release cycle is much slower than the argocd release cycle and I would like to have an up-to-date argocd installation.

Hi @bo0ts, yes, you can deploy other Argo CD versions by using .spec.image & .spec.version fields ArgoCD CR

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ArgoCD
metadata:
  name: <your-argocd-instance>
spec:
  image: quay.io/argoproj/argocd
  version: v2.12.3

The supported versions are

Operator 0.12.0 -> Argo CD 2.12.x
Operator 0.11.0 -> Argo CD 2.11.x

We are in the process of updating our documentation and automating our release process. We are hopeful that things will be better in the future.
