Fix for isa-ok

It was assuming that the test subject inherits from `Mu` which is sometimes incorrect. For example, it fails on

Better check for subness of MAIN

e0e24a8dbfd73b20697 introduced a stupid check that was intended to see if &main could do a "cando" method. This fixes the check and is a better solution than PR4017. Daniel Mita++ for spotting!		 10:41

nine lizmat: why not .isa(Sub)? 10:57
lizmat because the check should really be about whether something can do the 'cando' method ? 10:58
nine ah, ok
lizmat because that's what "my &MAIN = -> { }' triggered: 10:59

gfldex wordpress says "rakuadvent.wordpress.com doesn’t exist". Is this intentional? 11:19
Altai-man gfldex, I think url is rakuadventcalendar.wordpress.com, no? 11:23
Was it different?
gfldex there is a redirect to raku-advent.blog/ 11:24
gfldex I'm asking because I got a first paragraph, a last paragraph and a crazy idea. Not sure yet if I can turn the crazy idea into a whole advent post. 11:27

Untodo now passing tests

Looks like the isa-ok improvements made these tests pass, vrurg++		 17:40

Allow new versioning values

This commmit allows for several version specification alternatives
  *without* changing anything else. It would merely allow people to
refer to the new version values *now*. Allowed alternatives are:

[Coke] I ask this every year or so: do we have a guide on how to port nqp to another backend? 19:53
MasterDuke i think the "official" recommendation is to ask jnthn or pmurias 19:59
[Coke] step 1: learn the language i'm trying to port to, I guess. :) 20:08
MasterDuke eh, learn by doing
thinking of porting nqp to something? for fun? 20:09
[Coke] to our work platform. (same reason I wanted a JVM port 10 years ago.) 20:15
MasterDuke cool. what lang? 20:19
[Coke] .NET 20:20
(looking like .NET 5, even though that's too new for work as of today)
(no one get excited, we'll see if I make it past the "hey, that'd be nifty" stage. :) 20:21
jdv79 you asked and got jvm and it wasn't enough... what will be?! 20:23
ugexe rise from your grave, Niecza 20:32
...did Niecza use nqp though?
[Coke] no 20:34
it was its own thing
it did its own bootstrapping so at some point the build used an old niecza to build itself. 20:35
the drive to get JVM pre-dated having docker everywhere.
