For example, if a combiner sees two PSBTs for the same transaction, one with version 0, and the other with version 1, then it should combine them and produce a PSBT with version 1.
If an updater is updating a PSBT and needs to add a field that is only available in version 1, then it should set the PSBT version number to 1 unless a version higher than that is already specified.

+Any new fields described in the new version must be added to the field listing tables in the Specification section.
