Replace LooseVersion

pylint is having a hard time with distutils.version in tox's virtual
envs. virtualenv uses some tricks to provide a virtual distutils
package, pylint can't cope with.

https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/73 suggests to use pkg_resources
instead. pkg_resources' version parser has some more benefits, e.g. PEP
440 conformity. But pkg_resources.parse_version() is a heavy weight solution
with reduced functionality, e.g. no access to major version.

For API_VERSION and plugin version we can use a much simpler and faster
approach.
