(update-specification->update-spec): Add a fallback-version argument.
(options->update-specs): Honor target-version option.
* tests/guix-refresh.sh: Test it.

+In some specific cases, you may have many packages specified via a
+manifest or a module selection which should all be updated together; for
+these cases, the @option{--target-version} option can be provided to have
+them all refreshed to the same version, as shown in the examples below:

+@example
+$ guix refresh qtbase qtdeclarative --target-version=6.5.2
+gnu/packages/qt.scm:1248:13: qtdeclarative would be upgraded from 6.3.2 to 6.5.2

 Sometimes the upstream name differs from the package name used in Guix,
 and @command{guix refresh} needs a little help.  Most updaters honor the
 @code{upstream-name} property in package definitions, which can be used
