Ngcc supports providing a project-level configuration to affect how
certain dependencies are processed and also has a built-in fallback
configuration for some unmaintained packages. Each entry in these
configurations could be scoped to specific versions of a package by
providing a version range. If no version range is provided for a
package, it defaults to `*` (with the intention of matching any
version).
Previously, the installed version of a package was tested against the
version range using the [semver][1] package's `satisfies()` function
with the default options. By default, `satisfies()` does not match
pre-releases (see [here][2] for more details on reasoning). While this
makes sense when determining what version of a dependency to install
(trying to avoid unexpected breaking changes), it is not desired in the
case of ngcc.
This commit fixes it by explicitly specifying that pre-release versions
should be matched normally.
