Title: Version check for the Excon gem was comparing strings incorrectly

Currently, '0.5.7' > '0.13.2', which is incorrect. This causes the riak client to be unable to provide a higher performance option to connect to the HTTP API of riak itself, even though the excon gem is more than able to handle such connections.

I replaced the string comparison with Gem::Version for the comparison check
