utils: Add `guile-version>?', and use it.

This fixes Guile version comparisons when (version) has a
vendor-specific suffix.

Reported by Andreas Enge <andreas@enge.fr>.

* guix/utils.scm (guile-version>?): New procedure.
* tests/utils.scm ("guile-version>? 1.8", "guile-version>? 10.5"): New
  tests.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (fetch, progress-report-port): Use
  `guile-version>?' instead of `version>?'.
* guix/http-client.scm (when-guile<=2.0.5, http-fetch): Likewise.
