Thoughts on returning an instance of packaging.version.Version instead of a str?

but __gmt_version__ should be a string.

Mm ok, could also do str(get_gmt_version()), but ok to just return a string itself. Just thought it could simplify some of the test code.

Description of proposed changes
In the
Session.__enter__method, we check if the GMT library version is equal to or newer than the required version. This special method is called when entering the context manager, i.e.,with Session() as lib. So it means we're repeatedly checking the GMT version.This PR refactors the clib codes to check the GMT version only once when loading the GMT library.
I expect to see some performance improvements
but the benchmarks say no. So I believe the performance improvement should be very little.https://codspeed.io/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/branches/clib/check-version show an average 2% performance improvement.
