Log Message:

	* tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
	  boundary. [SF Tcl Bug 1563836].

	* generic/tclPkg.c: [SF Tcl Bug 1563836]. Rewrote CompareVersion
	  to perform string comparison instead of numeric. This breaks
	  through the 32bit limit on version numbers. See code for details
	  (handling of leading zeros, signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some
	  arguments of CompareVersions, RequirementSatisfied, and
	  AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare modifies the string
	  (temporary string terminators). All callers use heap-allocated
	  ver-intreps, so we are good with that.
