parse github version numbers for comparisonOpenPR

This piece does parse the version numbers ignoring any initial 'v' and splitting numbers at each "." or "-" The comparison works for semantic versioning as well as using git describe output. Some comparison examples: 'v1.2.3-22' > 'v1.2.3' 'v1.2.4' > 'v1.2.3' 'v2' > 'v1.2.3' 'v2' == '2' 'v2.0' == 'v2' 'v2.0.0.0.0' == 'v2'

add windows compatibility workaroundMergedPR

In Windows we can't directly replace running binaries. It seems the previous fix attempt on this got lost. This code snippet makes the windows workaround explicit in code and moves the current binary to dst + ".old". I've tested this and use this in my fork on windows: https://github.com/diodechain/go-update
