Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Label a one-package release with its version, not its
 last character

When the release plan holds one package, $plan.Version is a single string,
Sort-Object hands it back as a string, and [-1] took its last character, so
a plan releasing 4.5.3 alone gave the run the label 3, which the publish's
version check refuses. The sort is now collected into an array first.
