[PATCHv2 6.5/7] squash! versioncmp: use earliest-longest contained suffix to determine sorting order

As the number of identical steps to be done for both tagnames grows, extract them into a helper function, with the additional benefit that the conditionals near the end of swap_prereleases() will use more meaningful variable names.

I was not particularly happy with the amount of code duplication this series added to swap_prereleases() in patches 5 and 6, hence this bit of refactoring. Which I'm not particularly happy with either, because, well, look at that diffstat.

I don't have strong feelings either way, but here it is, take it or leave it.
