Update _alpm_versioncmp
This code hasn't been looked at in some time. I grabbed a more recent version of the RPM source (4.4.2.3) and attempted to sync up any changes they have made, as well as make the libalpm additional code much cleaner and limited to only a few added lines of code. The size of this patch might make you think we added code, but bloat-o-meter actually tells us otherwise: <function> <old> <new> <diff> _alpm_versioncmp 1485 1021 -464 Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
