#39187: Twenty Seventeen version check fails on dev source of core

 This kill switch at starе of `functions.php` fails on dev checkout of
 core, stable 4.7 tag:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /**
  * Twenty Seventeen only works in WordPress 4.7 or later.
  */
 if ( version_compare( $GLOBALS['wp_version'], '4.7-alpha', '<' ) ) {
 }}}

 {{{#!php
 var_dump( $GLOBALS['wp_version'], version_compare( $GLOBALS['wp_version'],
 '4.7-alpha', '<' ) );
 // string(7) "4.7-src" bool(true)
 }}}


 Which further ends up as fatal error at my dev install, probably due to
 use of theme switcher plugin and kill switch being insufficiently
 foolproof. :)
