Rhys Arkins 0d5d7a8669 refactor!: remove rangeStrategy=pin from versioning modules (#36261)
Refactors `getNewValue` logic to replace it with an optional
`getPinnedValue()` where rangeStrategy=pin. This way each versioning
module doesn't need to add and test extensive "pin" logic.

This should not be breaking, but out of an abundance of caution, we'll
mark it as such.

Composer uses Semver-like versioning, but some package authors may use versions that are not completely valid, e.g. 1.2 instead of 1.2.0.

Composer supports ranges in a similar manner to npm, but not identical. The main difference is with tilde ranges.

Tilde ranges with "short" versions are different to npm. e.g.

~4 is equivalent to ^4 in npm ~4.1 is equivalent to ^4.1 in npm ~0.4 is equivalent to >=0.4 <1 in npm

Composer supports patches in the version numbers, which are considered stable. E.g., 1.2.3-p1 is recognized by npm as unstable, Renovate implements additional logic to support correct sorting and stability checks on composer patch versions syntax.
