dpkg-genchanges: skip warning about lower version for backports
Backports have by definition a version number lower than the original
version (to enable upgrades from backports to official packages). So skip
the corresponding warning when backports are detected thanks to the
usual version suffixes ~bpo (backports.org) and ~vola (volatile.d.o).
