Situation

When calling semver.bump_prerelease on a version with a prerelease of -rc9, it gets bumped to -rc10. However. according to the semver spec (https://semver.org/#spec-item-11 section 11.4 items 1+2), 'rc9' is considered a string and will be compared to 'rc10' using ASCII sort order, which considers 'rc10' to be lower than 'rc9'.

How to reproduce

>>> import semver
>>> version1 = '1.0.0-rc9'
>>> version2 = semver.bump_prerelease(version1)
>>> version2
'1.0.0-rc10'
>>> semver.compare(version1, version2)
1

Expected behavior

Not entirely sure how the bump_prerelease version should behalve when it gets rc9. ASCII-wise, after 9 you could consider a, but you get rca, rcb which feels a bit odd. Another option could be that the function just returns some kind of error, indicating it cannot determine how to increase rc9 to a higher value.
