fix(deps): npm-package-arg now normalize x, x@, x@*

[ghiscoding]

Description

As per npm-package-arg (npa) new version 10.x PR which is a Breaking Change

Right now, name@ and name are parsed with {type:'tag', fetchSpec: 'latest'}, but name@* is parsed as {type: 'range'}. But since '' is a valid semver range, it should be parsed the same as *.

This also saves npm-package-arg from guessing the default tag, which currently poses some semantic hazards. npm (via npm-pick-manifest) will prefer its default tag if given a range that includes it. But name@latest should always and only resolve to that specific version in the dist-tags. So npm-pick-manifest and pacote have to detect this and do some extra work to figure out if latest was actually specified or just guessed as a default.

1. npa('name@')
2. npa('name')
3. npa('name@*')

All 3 should parse the same, like (3) above. Effectively, a '' spec should be changed to '*' and interpreted accordingly..

The new npa v10 version now normalize all 3 above to the same result {type: 'range', fetchSpec: ''}

Motivation and Context

When providing "pkg-1": "*", it will no longer return fetchSpec: 'latest' with v10.x, instead it will now return an empty string as in fetchSpec: ''
