Comment (by azaozz):

 Was looking at what can be done in core to "remedy" the improper use of
 the version strings, but it's a tough call. We can't just remove the `-wp`
 there, need to change the version string to bust caches. But whatever we
 change it to it will still be an invalid version...

 Ideally plugins that replace the local copy of jQuery will be updated to
 not replace it, and use the patched version distributed with WP.

 Also found this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/use-google-libraries/
 (which is unfortunately outdated/seems unsupported) that "does it right".
 See https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/use-google-
 libraries/tags/1.6.2.2/use-google-libraries.php#L354.
