Bug due to a change in matrixStats ties.method= ordering

[LTLA]

Due to HenrikBengtsson/matrixStats@0e70e46, the DelayedMatrixStats rowRanks generic's defaults for ties.method is not interacting well withmatrixStats::rowRanks.

library(matrixStats)
X <- rbind(sample(10, 20, replace=TRUE))

DelayedMatrixStats::rowRanks(X, ties.method="average")
rank(X[1,], ties.method="average")

DelayedMatrixStats::rowRanks(X, ties.method="min")
rank(X[1,], ties.method="min")

DelayedMatrixStats::rowRanks(X, ties.method="max")
rank(X[1,], ties.method="max")

This is causing scran CHECK failures.

The problem disappears upon reinstallation of DelayedMatrixStats, probably because the S4 method tables are only updated during reinstallation. Suggest bumping version numbers on both release and devel versions to prompt reinstallation of DMS in user machines.

Thanks, Aaron.
I synced the rowRanks() signatures with matrixStats v0.55.0 (and made that the minimum supported version for DelayedMatrixStats), and bumped the version number in release and devel.
Hopefully all goes smoothly in the next build.
