FIX: Correct version comparison logic when comparing stable to beta (#10135)
* FIX: Correct version comparison logic when comparing stable to beta

For example, version 1.3.0 should be considered higher than 1.3.0.beta3. So `Discourse.has_needed_version?('1.3.0', '1.3.0.beta3')` should return true

* Switch to use Gem::Version to compare versions
