[PATCH] configure: Escape non-numbers in version_ge()

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

On Red Hat based distributions, the configure script emits various
warnings:

  # ./configure
  Using './build' as the directory for build output
  ./configure: line 212: test: 2-15: integer expression expected
  ./configure: line 213: test: 2-15: integer expression expected
  ./configure: line 212: test: el8: integer expression expected
  ./configure: line 213: test: el8: integer expression expected

This is produced by the gdb version check introduced in commit
b1863ccc957 ("configure: gate our use of GDB to 8.3.1 or above"):

    gdb_version=$($gdb_bin --version | head -n 1)
    if version_ge ${gdb_version##* } 8.3.1; then
        echo "HAVE_GDB_BIN=$gdb_bin" >> $config_host_mak
    fi

Because on RHEL/Fedora the minor version is not a plain number:

  $ gdb --version | head -n 1
  GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 9.1-7.fc32

  $ gdb --version | head -n 1
  GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2-15.el8

Fix by only using the leading numbers, stripping the rest.
