nx release: internal getLatestGitTagForPattern behaviour breaking change / not aligned with currentVersionResolver config

[Hotell]

Current Behavior

Regression (Breaking change - it's internal API so from semver POV it's not a BC) introduced with #22082 ( from nx 17 -> nx 18 )

getLatestGitTagForPattern - won't get proper tag anymore and there is no way to configure its logic.

Use case: for particular release groups ( northstar) we need find tags from whole repo not just based on branch. With this change it's breaking our release flow.

Expected Behavior

getLatestGitTagForPattern should provide configuration option to accommodate currentVersionResolver or option to chose in user land how git tags retrieval works ( use --merged or not).

I found doing a tag deletion first will revert back to the original feature. Doing something like this kindof works, but not ideal:

(git tag --merge | xargs git tag -d) && npx nx release -p <project name> --dry-run
