Ignore pre-release parts when comparing GHES versions

[koesie10]

This will change our GHES version comparison to always compare without taking into consideration the pre-release part of the version, and dropping any unrecognized semver parts.

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors the GHES version comparison logic to ignore pre-release version parts when determining compatibility. The change replaces the parseGhesVersion function with a new satisfiesGHESVersion function that uses semver.coerce and explicitly strips pre-release components before performing version comparisons.

• Replace parseGhesVersion function with satisfiesGHESVersion for cleaner version range checking
• Use semver.coerce to handle non-standard version formats and strip pre-release components
• Update all GHES version comparisons to use the new function with range syntax

Thanks for putting this together! This probably makes sense, since I can't imagine that we'd want to check for a particular pre-release version. Dropping the pre-release for the comparison makes sense to me.

One suggestion about the potential footgun that Copilot highlighted as well.

Thanks! This looks good now.

Good idea!

There's a merge conflict with lib/upload-lib.js.map which I think you can resolve by merging / rebasing and then running npm run build again

Thanks for the reviews! I've rebased and squashed all three commits into one to make this easier to cherry-pick for the backport.
