Accept runner patch upgrades from newer major releases
What does this MR do and why?
Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.
This MR fixes a minor bug in the logic of Gitlab::Ci::RunnerUpgradeCheck
. If a runner is already on a newer release that is ahead of the GitLab instance version, the upgrade should be considered as :recommended
even if the major version does not match. This is because the patch release might contain security fixes and should not have incompatible changes.
