[refactor] Replace manual semantic version utilities/functions with semver package (#5653)

## Summary
- Replace custom `compareVersions()` with `semver.compare()`
- Replace custom `isSemVer()` with `semver.valid()`  
- Remove deprecated version comparison functions from `formatUtil.ts`
- Update all version comparison logic across components and stores
- Fix tests to use semver mocking instead of formatUtil mocking

## Benefits
- **Industry standard**: Uses well-maintained, battle-tested `semver`
package
- **Better reliability**: Handles edge cases more robustly than custom
implementation
- **Consistent behavior**: All version comparisons now use the same
underlying logic
- **Type safety**: Better TypeScript support with proper semver types


Fixes #4787
