fix: treat 1.0 and 1 as the same for excel users (#4543)

* fix: treat 1.0 and 1 as the same for excel users

* fixes #4467

If you edit a csv/spreadsheet in excel, it will modify values that "look
like" integers to it, so the version 1.0 becomes 1, truncating the final
".0" from the version string.    This adds an edge case in to the
version compare function so it treats these truncated versions as the
same (which was the behaviour in previous versions of cve-bin-tool).
