  2. Run `yarn` in the repository root.
3. If you've fixed a bug or added code that should be tested, add tests!
4. Ensure the test suite passes (`yarn test`). Tip: `yarn test --watch
TestName` is helpful in development.
5. Run `yarn test --prod` to test in the production environment. It
supports the same options as `yarn test`.
6. If you need a debugger, run `yarn debug-test --watch TestName`, open
`chrome://inspect`, and press "Inspect".
7. Format your code with
[prettier](https://github.com/prettier/prettier) (`yarn prettier`).

## Summary

This PR:

- Replaces the existing usages of methods from the `semver` library in
the React DevTools source with an inlined version based on
https://www.npmjs.com/package/semver-compare.

This appears to drop the unminified bundle sizes of 3 separate
`react-devtools-extensions` build artifacts by about 50K:

## How did you test this change?

I was originally working on [a fork of React
DevTools](replayio#2) for use with
https://replay.io , specifically our integration of the React DevTools
UI to show the React component tree while users are debugging a recorded
application.

As part of the dev work on that fork, I wanted to shrink the bundle size
of the extension's generated JS build artifacts. I noted that the
official NPM `semver` library was taking up a noticeable chunk of space
in the bundles, and saw that it's only being used in a handful of places
to do some very simple version string comparisons.

I was able to replace the `semver` imports and usages with a simple
alternate comparison function, and confirmed via hands-on checks and
console logging that the checks behaved the same way.

Given that, I wanted to upstream this particular change to help shrink
the real extension's bundle sizes.

I know that it's an extension, so bundle size isn't _as_ critical a
concern as it would be for a pure library. But, smaller download sizes
do benefit all users, and that also includes sites like CodeSandbox and
Replay that are using the React DevTools as a library as well.

I'm happy to tweak this PR if necessary.  Thanks!
