doc: enhance and reference info about version comparison
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Reference the additional info about filevercmp rather than the unused strverscmp. (Details about version sort): Add some examples that are not handled well by fileversmp. * src/ls.c: Change a comment referencing the now unused strverscmp.
