This pull request adds a ReplaceAll feature to the version filter functionality, allowing users to apply regex-based transformations to version strings before filtering. This is particularly useful for normalizing version formats (e.g., converting curl-8_15_0 to curl-8.15.0) before regex extraction and semantic version matching.

Closes #5864

Test

To test this pull request, you can run the following commands:

cd pkg/plugins/utils/version
go test -v

Or run the full test suite:

make test-short

Additional Information

• Added ReplaceAll struct with Pattern and Replacement fields to the version filter
• Implemented applyReplaceAll() method that applies regex replacements before filtering
• Integrated ReplaceAll functionality into REGEXVERSIONKIND, REGEXSEMVERVERSIONKIND, and REGEXTIMEVERSIONKIND filter types
• Added validation for ReplaceAll patterns in the Validate() method
• Added unit tests covering various scenarios including:
  • Valid and invalid regex patterns
  • Different filter kinds (regex, regex/semver, regex/time)
  • Edge cases (empty replacement, no matches, capture groups)

Checklist

• I have added unit tests for the new functionality
• I have validated that tests pass with go test

Tradeoff

The ReplaceAll transformation is applied before regex extraction, which means:

• Pros: Allows normalization of version strings that don't match expected formats (e.g., underscores vs dots)
• Cons: Adds an extra processing step, but the performance impact is minimal as it only applies when ReplaceAll is configured

The validation happens at filter initialization time, catching invalid regex patterns early rather than at runtime.
