Unable to instrument prerelease tagged packages

Please answer these questions before submitting a bug report.

What version of OpenTelemetry are you using?

I am using the most recent version of Opentelemetry 0.22

What version of Node are you using?

14.17.0

Please provide the code you used to setup the OpenTelemetry SDK

N/A

What did you do?

I am trying to write my own custom instrumentation of an internal package which is versioned using alpha, beta-packages. Currently, the InstrumentationBase has a function named isSupported which checks the module version against a list of allowed versions. The check uses satisfies -function of the semver-package only this function appears to ignore alpha, beta versions.

For example, if I am using the following code snippet:

const selectQueryBuilder = new InstrumentationNodeModuleFile<typeof typeorm>(
      '@company/typeorm/query-builder/SelectQueryBuilder.js',
      ['*'],
      (moduleExports, moduleVersion) => {

and the package version is 2.0.0-beta.1 that then function isSupported returns false` which results in the package not being instrumented while its supported.

If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error.

What did you expect to see?

I expected to be able to instrument any package no matter which version with or without prerelease tags when using the * as supported version

What did you see instead?

The custom instrumentation is not happening

Additional context

I think this could be solved in multiple ways:

1. Allow to provide a custom isSupported-function implementation as part of the configuration for the InstrumentationBase-class
2. Allow to provide an opt-in configuration includePrerelease which passes the following configuration to the semver-package's satisfies-function: { includePrerelease }
3. Implement support for * as supported version which always return true in the isSupported-function
