[PATCH stable 6.1 v2 4/5] tools build: Add 3-component logical version comparators

[Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

commit a9b451509565d40a5ca3b41c39a2b758cdbc5355 upstream

The next cset needs to compare if a flex version is greater or
equal/less than another, but since there is no canonical, generally
available way to compare versions in the command line (sort -V, yeah,
but...), just use awk to canonicalize the versions like is also done in
scripts/rust_is_available.sh.

There was a problem spotted in linux-next where a bashism, here
documents, aka the '<<<' stdin redirector, for strings to be used as the
stdin for awk. Use $(shell echo | awk ...) instead.
