Description
Since all package versions follow semver, we should add functions to encode/decode and compare them. I think we should simply vendor in https://hexdocs.pm/verl though let's make sure we expose as small API as possible, we can grow it later.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing version-handling code in hex_core and the proposed verl implementation at hexdocs.pm/verl. Define the smallest public API needed for encoding, decoding, and comparing semver package versions, then verify that the module exposes only that API and handles the repository's version cases.
