Florian Klink 25e79e4aca tree-wide: use LooseVersion instead of StrictVersion (#8081 )

According to `distutils/version.py`, StrictVersion is pretty strict in
what version numbers to accept:

> A version number consists of two or three dot-separated numeric
> components, with an optional "pre-release" tag on the end.  The
> pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b' followed by a number.

This assumption already fails for some pretty basic python libraries
itself, like setuptools, also available in `46.1.3.post20200610`, a
completely valid version number according to
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#post-releases.

There doesn't seem to be a particular reason on why StrictVersion has
been used here, so let's use LooseVersion, to be compatible with these
versions.
