When versions are created, any empty parts are trimmed off. This means
that `22.0.0` is stored as `[22]` in memory. This causes an issue when
comparing to a version that had additional parts, but should be sorted
lower than the version which is trimmed, such as `22.0.0-rc`. This is
due to the comparator seeing that `[22]` has no more parts to compare
after the first iteration, while `[22, 0, 0-rc]` does, causing it to hit
the condition where whichever version has more parts is considered to be
greater.

This PR updates the logic so that the version comparison effectively
contains as many empty parts as are needed to fully complete the
comparison. This retains the logic that if a part is not equal to the
part it is being compared against, the result of that comparison will be
returned but eliminates the need for checking if the versions have the
same number of parts since, effectively, they do; it's just that the
extra parts needed to complete the comparison are all empty.

Additional tests have been added to cover this corner case.

If possible, I would ask that this also be cherry-picked into any future
1.9 releases (assuming this PR passes review and merges)
