Comparison 9.0.0-alpha.9 API

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable , kotlin.Comparable
```
public enum Comparison
extends Enum<Comparison>
                    
```
Which relation between two versions a caller is asking about, passed to SemanticVersionComparator.compareSemantics. It exists because "is this version acceptable?" has three useful answers and no single comparison covers them — an era boundary wants EQUAL_OR_NEW, an update check wants NEW.
