#61050: Add `port vercmp` command

Portfile authors need to know in which situations they need to increase a
port's `epoch`. To do that, they need to be able to run the MacPorts
`vercmp` procedure and see what it prints for the port's old version and
the new one, but MacPorts doesn't expose a way to do that. I have a script
I often use to do this:
https://github.com/ryandesign/macports-user-
ryandesign/blob/master/scripts/vercmp
I propose that we should add a `port vercmp` command to integrate this
functionality. Proposed usage example:
{{{
$ port vercmp 1.0-rc1 1.0
MacPorts considers 1.0-rc1 to be greater than 1.0.
}}}
