  Improve rabbitmq-server upgrade block

Bug description:
  In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-
  server/+bug/2074309, we added a release upgrade block from jammy to
  noble if rabbitmq-server is installed. That's because the version in
  jammy cannot be upgraded in one step to the version shipped in noble.

  There are cases, however, where users have installed rabbitmq-server
  from an outside repository, like upstream's, or a ppa, and not from
  the ubuntu archive. In these cases, they might have the version that
  can be upgraded to noble without issues.

  There are two alternatives here:
  - improve the check to include a version comparison
  - relax the check and just warn the user, giving an option to continue with the upgrade or abort.
