PPM: deps versioning fixed

A Puppy-format package database entry has a dependencies field that may have optional versioning, examples:

|+ncurses,+readline&ge2.3.5,+glibc|
|+ncurses,+readline,+linux_kernel&ge2.6.39&lt3.0|

Where the operators may be:
&ge, &gt, &eq, &le, &lt

...this was documented awhile back in my blog.

At the time, I didn't quite implement it fully in the Puppy Package Manager, or rather I did but didn't test it. Forum member npierce has been investigating this, and has posted a solution to the Forum:

This fix looks good, I have put it into Woof:
