feat(vim.version): add vim.version.le and vim.version.ge

- Problem: One cannot easily write something like, for example:
    `version_current >= {0, 10, 0}`; writing like
    `not vim.version.lt(version_current, {0, 10, 0})` is verbose.

- Solution: add {`le`,`ge`} in addition to {`lt`,`gt`}.

- Also improve typing on the operator methods: allow `string` as well.

- Update the example in `vim.version.range()` docs: `ge` in place of
  `gt` better matches the semantics of `range:has`.
