Chandler Carruth bff1e8d53d Enhance the GCC version parsing and comparison logic to handle some more
edge cases and have better behavior. Specifically, we should actually
prefer the general '4.6' version string over the '4.6.1' string, as
'4.6.2' should be able to replace it without breaking rpaths or any
other place that these paths have been embedded. Debian-based
distributions are already using a path structure with symlinks to
achieve in-place upgrades for patch versions. Now our parsing reflects
this and we select the shorter paths instead of the longer paths.

A separate issue was that we would not parse a leading patch version
number even in the presence of a suffix. The above change makes this
more problematic as it would cause a suffix being added to make us treat
the entire thing as patch-version-agnostic, which it isn't. This changes
the logic to distinguish between '4.4.x' and 4.4.1-x', and retain that
the latter has *some* patch number information. Currently, we always
bias toward the shorter and more canonical version strings. If it
becomes important we can add more Debian like rules to produce sequences
such as '4.4.1b' > '4.4.1' > '4.4.1-rc3' > '4.4.1-rc2' > '4.4.1-pre5',
but I'm very doubtful this will ever matter or be desirable.

I've made the tests for this logic a bit more interesting, and added
some specific tests for logic that is now different.
