fix: bump minimum supported CLI version to 0.3.0 (#167)

The extension uses `append` (added in v0.3.0) and `patch merge`
(added in v0.2.0), so 0.1.0 was never a correct minimum. Users on
0.1.x or 0.2.x would see CLI errors for Append and Merge Patch
quick actions.

Update MINIMUM_SUPPORTED_PATCHLOOM_VERSION and all references.
