Version comparison logic used for downloading node exporter binary fails on Ansible 2.9

[dgptamayo]

The download task fails with this error:

TASK [UnderGreen.prometheus-node-exporter : download prometheus node exporter binary] *********************************************************************** task path: /home/ansible/roles/UnderGreen.prometheus-node-exporter/tasks/main.yml:3 fatal: [server]: FAILED! => { "msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{% if prometheus_node_exporter_version | version_compare('0.13.0', '>=') %}https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v{{ prometheus_node_exporter_version }}/{{ prometheus_node_exporter_release_name }}.tar.gz{% else %}https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/{{ prometheus_node_exporter_version }}/{{ prometheus_node_exporter_release_name }}.tar.gz{% endif %}'.

Seems like version_compare filter has been deprecated in Ansible 2.9

I had a fix for this only to discover it's already been patched. Apparently if you download via ansible-galaxy it's picking up an older version?

I am encountering this issue :(
Does Ansible Galaxy need the new latest tag with v1.5.0?
