Show latest stable version on search result page

Currently it seems to show the latest released version, even if it is a pre-release.

Example: https://crates.io/search?q=bincode
I see: bincode v1.0.0-alpha6

Following the link I get to bincode v0.6.1

It should show v0.6.1 on the search page as well.

Thank you! This is related to, but slightly different from, #510.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but pages like https://crates.io/categories/cryptography also show prerelease (e.g. alpha) versions instead of showing the latest stable version.

I just had a quick look at this as it was labeled "A-ember". The problem is that from the API we only get max_version (highest version; semver order) and newest_version (the most recently updated version), but both include prereleases. I guess this would need to be changed on the API side, so that max_version only considers regular releases, but not prereleases. Unfortunately, I can't judge whether that might break anything else... 😞
