Gnulib module: strverscmp

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on all non-glibc platforms: macOS 11.1, FreeBSD 13.0, NetBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 6.7, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.7.x, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• On older glibc platforms, this function does not always properly treat digit strings with leading zeros as fractions (for example, strverscmp ("B0075022800016.gbp.corp.com", "B007502357019.GBP.CORP.COM") does not yield a negative number as it should): glibc 2.9
