fix(status): strip 'v' prefix before comparing versions (#7484) (#11011)

`/status` was showing an upgrade-available banner even when the
running build matched the latest release, because `checkVersionState`
compared `currentVersion` (e.g. `v0.76.2`) against `latestVersion`
(e.g. `0.76.2`) via raw string equality.

Normalize both sides by stripping a leading `v`/`V` before comparing.
Existing pre-release handling (`0.76.2-rc.1` → `0.76.2`) is preserved.

Add a unit test covering exact match, either-side prefix mismatch,
both prefixed, pre-release, and true mismatches.

Fixes #7484
