fix: use semver comparison for extension version upgrades

Previously the system used simple string inequality to detect available
updates, causing downgrades to appear as upgrades (e.g. 2.5.1 → 2.5.0).
Now both backend (SQL) and frontend (JS) compare version tuples properly.
Also fixes latest_version in DB on registry sync startup.
