feat(plugins/npm): exclude pre-release branches from greaterRelease calculation

[hydrosquall]

What Changed

• Exclude the remote NPM version from the "greater" calculation if the @latest tag is for a pre-release version.
  • This can happen if a new package is first published without a tag on @latest, AND that package happens to be the last alphabetically in getMonoRepoPackage, its version will drive up the next version for the entire monorepo because its "latest" version is ahead of all its siblings.

Why

• Expanded on feat(plugins/npm): exclude prelease versions when calculating monorepo project version #2035 , which didn't have the full effect because it was only filtering on local package versions (it didn't include public versions)

I considered a few different places to add this check, but from testing this location in an auto config with only the 1 NPM plugin

• yarn run auto info
• yarn run auto latest --dry-run
• yarn run auto canary --dry-run
• yarn run auto next --dry-run (not working yet - for some reason this is still outputting the wrong version, investigating... (This was solved by deleting tags from the git remote which hadn't been removed yet)

Todo:

• Add tests
• Add docs

@hipstersmoothie thanks for the canary release! I tested this in our project, and it works well (the greaterVersion calculation preferred the local highest version over the remote version).
