fix(tvix/eval): implement C++ Nix version part comparison algorithm r/4949

This is based on the [relevant code] in C++ Nix. Our version has more
branches because the C++ one only checks if it is less than or not, so
can save handling a few cases. We on the other hand, can avoid calling
the algorithm twice. It'd be nice to implement proptests for this in the
future and to make sure that this weird little algorithm doesn't violate
the Ord laws.

[relevant code]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/cd35bbbeef72375873e396b9ffed14a4638693a8/src/libstore/names.cc#L81-L94
