Support npm dependencies with "weird" versions #2509

Description

@pombredanne

Per https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#dependencies the version of a dependency can be various things:

These versions end up in the package-lock.json too and they are not really versions.
We should instead treat them as requirements and not as concrete versions.

This is also impacting ScanCode.io BTW
