Rollup merge of rust-lang#35137 - jongiddy:explicit-wildcard, r=steveklabnik
Provide more explicit example of wildcard version in guessing game doc. Beginners may try to adapt the tutorial to develop their own code. When using different dependencies, they may use the wildcard for versioning. Since they are new to the language, they will not know that the wildcard asterisk is a string, not a token. Make the correct format more explicit, to remove one potential source of frustration.
