- Return major, minor tuple depending on apparent mat file type - Where: - 0,x -> version 4 format mat files 
- 1,x -> version 5 format mat files 
- 2,x -> version 7.3 format mat files (HDF format) 
 - Parameters:
- file_namestr

- Returns:
- major_version{0, 1, 2}
- major MATLAB File format version 
- minor_versionint
- minor MATLAB file format version 
 
- Raises:
- MatReadError
- If the file is empty. 
- ValueError
