Description

At the moment, we require double-conversion>=3.1 but distributions are all mostly on 2.1 or 3.0. We should support them

Nice side-effect is that double-conversion is not good in updating their version number. So thus 3.0 report itself as 2.0.1 and 3.1.x as 3.0 in the CMake definitions. Thus we cannot rely on their version number reporting for detecting the version.
