Comparison operations for image tags. Because registries aren't doing this for
us 🙄
This library is helpful if you're aiming to use only "stable" and "semver-like"
tags and want to be able to do things like compare them, find which tags are
more recent, sort them and other types of comparisons. This is a best-effort
implementation which follows the wisdom of [Renovate].

> pretty "wild west" for tagging and not always compliant with SemVer.
The [Renovate implementation], which allows image tags to be automatically
upgraded, is the only show in town, apparently. This library follows that
implementation quite closely.

## Example
```golang
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sort"
"coopcloud.tech/tagcmp"
)
func main() {
rawTags := []string{
"1.7.1",
"1.9.4-linux-arm64",
"1.14.2-rootless",
"linux-arm64-rootless",
"1.14.1-rootless",
"1.12.4-linux-amd64",
"1.14.0-rootless",
}
tag, err := tagcmp.Parse("1.14.0-rootless")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
var compatible []tagcmp.Tag
for _, rawTag := range rawTags {
parsed, _ := tagcmp.Parse(rawTag) // skips unsupported tags
if tag.IsCompatible(parsed) {
compatible = append(compatible, parsed)
}
}
sort.Sort(tagcmp.ByTagAsc(compatible))
fmt.Println(compatible)
}
```
Output:
```golang
[1.14.0-rootless 1.14.1-rootless 1.14.2-rootless]
```

## Types of versions supported
```golang
// semver
"5",
"2.6",
"4.3.5",
// semver with 'v'
"v1",
"v2.3",
"v1.0.2",
// semver with suffix
"6-alpine",
"6.2-alpine",
"6.2.1-alpine",
// semver with sufix and 'v'
"v6-alpine",
"v6.2-alpine",
"v6.2.1-alpine",
"v6.2.1-alpine",
// semver with multiple suffix values
"6.2.1-alpine-foo",
// semver with multiple suffix values and 'v'
"v6.2.1-alpine-foo",
```
## Types of versions not supported
> Please note, we could support some of these versions if people really need
> them to be supported. Some tags are using a unique format which we could
> support by implementing a very specific parser for (e.g. `ParseMinioTag`,
> `ParseZncTag`). For now, this library tries to provide a `Parse` function
> which handles more general cases. Please open an issue, change sets are
> welcome.
