Version comparison fails on things like 1.9 -> 1.10

[geerlingguy]

I just ran this on drupal-vm today and got:

   - name: geerlingguy.java
-    version: 1.10.0
+    version: 1.9.7

So... the version comparison is definitely not working as planned.

Hi Jeff,

I came here after seeing your Ansible Fest presentation. Great job with that, by the way!

https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-requirements-updater/blob/388c5f22a4abac6ece0741659a516ac6555bd048/tasks/update-requirement.yml#L19-L33

It shouldn't even be necessary to sort the data; The versions: array is already sorted properly (i.e. the latest version is the first dictionary in the array).

I plan on creating a PR to address this issue and implement some other ideas I have to make the playbook more structurally sound. I will also take a stab at implementing #1.

I implemented a similar solution to find the latest version of a project on Github in one of my Ansible roles. [link]

Thank you again for all your great Ansible content! Watching/reading your educational content and just looking at your open-source Ansible code has been crucial to my Ansible journey.
