compareVersions - Semantic version comparison (default: greater than or equal)

This function compares an array of semantic versions against a reference version.

res = COMPAREVERSIONS(verArray, verComp, verCheck)
INPUT:
verArray: Cell array with the following conditions:
- be of length >= 1,
- contain only string elements, and
- each element must be of length >= 1.
verComp: String or Char array that verArray will compare against for
greater than evaluation. Must be:
- be of length >= 1, and
- a string.
verCheck: (Optional) Function handle for comparison with the following conditions:
- Must be of the form @(x,y)
- In an element of verArray, x represents a float for the part to compare
- In verComp, y represents a float for the part to compare
- Default is greater than or equal to i.e. @(x,y) x >= y
OUTPUT:
res: Logical array that identifies if each cell element in verArray
satisfies verCheck.

EXAMPLES:
output = compareVersions({'3.2.4beta','9.5.2.1','8.0'}, '8.0.0'); %logical([0 1 1])
output = compareVersions({'3.2.4beta','9.5.2.1','8.0'}, '8.0.0', @(x,y) x<y); %logical([1 0 0])
compareVersion_v = compareVersions('version'); %'1.0.9'
