added: eksctl version comparison to check min version

Gerard Hickey requested to merge eksctl_min_version into master

What does this MR do?

Had significant problems recently with creating an EKS environment to work on #1832 (closed). Found that the old version of eksctl I had installed was causing problems with building out the cluster. This change allows the eks_bootstrap_script to validate that eksctl is at least at a minimum version before proceeding.

The minimum version for eksctl has been set to 0.24.0 in this MR as it seemed like a good point to set the version. 0.24.0 added support for Kubernetes 1.17 and the default Kubernetes version to be installed is 1.16.
