Fixes running in netbox-docker with errors on version strings

[biwhite]

packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '4.2.3-Docker-3.2.0'

If it's new enough to break due to this reason, it's already on the new module names for import.

Alternative is to check settings.RELEASE.version vs settings.VERSION

Tested this. Works! Thanks!

Hi, can someone please review this PR, it's a blocker for using the plugin on netbox-docker installations. Thanks.

I think we're waiting on @biwhite to sign the CLA

Sorry, I'd missed it was waiting on me signing CLA! Now done.

Will this ever be merged?

[mfiedorowicz]

Apologies for delay in response/action lately, we've been extremely busy with release of diode and diode-netbox-plugin 1.0.0, which already should have this issue resolved, with minimum supported NetBox version 4.2.3 and dropping backwards compatibility with NetBox < 4.1.

[RedLine89]

That's exactly why I am asking :) I saw the announcement in the NetBox blog and was hoping to try it, but I still can't install the diode plugin.
