release(v1.7.19-alpha): kill stale available_update + numeric version compare

load_state now drops any stored available_update whenever the running
binary version differs from what's on disk — the old migration only
cleared it when the stale entry happened to match the new version, so
skipping releases (e.g. sideloading 1.7.16 → 1.7.18 without 1.7.17)
left a pointer to an intermediate version as the "update available",
which the UI then offered as a downgrade prompt.

check_for_updates also uses a numeric version comparator so a stale or
cached manifest with an older version can't offer itself as an
update, and 1.7.10 correctly outranks 1.7.9 past the single-digit
patch boundary.

<p>Your node no longer offers a version you've already passed as an "available update". If you sideload or skip a release, any stored pointer to an earlier version is dropped on next restart, and the System Update page offers only the genuinely newer release — no more seeing an older version listed as something to install.</p>
<p>Version comparison is now numeric, not alphabetic. 1.7.10 correctly outranks 1.7.9 (earlier naive string-order would have got this backwards once the patch number hits double digits), so update prompts and "up to date" checks stay accurate past the nines.</p>
<p>A stale manifest from a slow cache or proxy can no longer downgrade your node. If the manifest reports a version equal to or behind what's running, your node treats that as "up to date" rather than offering the older version as an update.</p>
