refactor: replace semver with verkit

[sxzz]

Summary

• replace direct semver and @types/semver usage with verkit across the inspector and tools packages
• migrate comparison, range, prerelease, and validation calls to verkit's functional named exports
• keep verkit external in published Node.js output by declaring it as a runtime dependency, and update the pnpm catalog and lockfile
• add focused coverage for prerelease versions, invalid input, range parsing, and version comparisons

Motivation

verkit is a pure ESM, zero-dependency SemVer implementation with first-class TypeScript declarations and functional, tree-shakeable named exports. This fits the repository's ESM and TypeScript architecture, avoids CommonJS interop for direct version operations, and removes the need for @types/semver.

Compatibility

• preserves stable and prerelease comparison behavior, invalid-input handling, range unions, and latest-major filtering
• preserves the repository's Node.js support: verkit supports Node.js 18.12 and later, while this repository requires Node.js 22.19 or later
• keeps verkit as an external runtime dependency rather than inlining it into the published CLI and tools library
• verifies the built packages on Node.js 22.19 and Node.js 24

Validation

• CI=true pnpm install --lockfile-only --offline --frozen-lockfile
• pnpm lint
• pnpm typecheck
• pnpm build
• pnpm vitest run packages/node-modules-inspector/src/app/utils/semver.test.ts packages/node-modules-inspector/src/shared/semver.test.ts packages/node-modules-inspector/src/shared/reports/maintainers.test.ts packages/node-modules-tools/src/utils/filter.test.ts
• pnpm exec publint packages/node-modules-inspector
• pnpm exec publint packages/node-modules-tools
• built-artifact smoke tests on Node.js 22.19 and Node.js 24
• git diff --check

Known test failure

• pnpm test --run passes 86 of 87 tests; test/module-type.test.ts expects h3 to be dual-format, but the hoisted h3@2 resolved by the test is ESM-only. The focused migration tests all pass.
