#61703: livecheck sees older version without v prefix as newer than version with v
prefix and higher version number

--------------------+--------------------
 The project aws-iam-authenticator unfortunately tagged inconsistently so
 now their newest tags have a v prefix but their older ones do not. It
 causes the vercmp to see their longest length non-prefixed version as the
 newest version, rather than the version with the v and that is also a
 higher number.

 aws-iam-authenticator seems to have been updated (port version: v0.5.2,
 new version: 0.4.0-alpha.3)
 }}}

 v0.5.2 should be seen as the newest. Can vercmp ignore the missing v in
 either version?
