BIG-IP F5 wonky version string (EA to translate to semantic version string)

[donmontalvo]

F5 Networks uses a wonky version string like:

$ /usr/bin/defaults read /Applications/BIG-IP Edge Client.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleVersion
XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.X

We need to get an actual version number, based on K13757: BIG-IP Edge Client version matrix.

Using the chart, we can translate the first octet in their wonky version string into a usable proper version string.

#!/bin/sh
# Translate F5 Networks' string for actual usable version based on vendor matrix:
#
#   K13757: BIG-IP Edge Client version matrix
#   https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13757
#
# Translate F5 Networks' string for actual usable version. 20180601 DM

Queue in our coveted scripting gurus who might have a better way to do this with a loop... ;)

Hope this helps the next person.
