Title: Loosen the version restriction if Riak is on a prerelease version.

This alleviates errors that occur with feature detection, since Riak doesn't follow Python's versioning scheme defined in the `StrictVersion` class. Specifically, those currently occurring in our `riak_test` suite will pass.
