fix(tests): tolerate numpy pre-release versions in test_node

[ArnavBalyan]

Changes

• Tests fail due to manual split of np version on . which fails on annotated versions like 2.5.0rc1.
• Move to packaging Version to avoid this

How I tested this

• CI

@ArnavBalyan can you still fix the one broken test for py3.12+? Seems a np dtype mismatch
