Generic JSON updater can't replace version in a string field

[0xdbe]

Environment details

• OS: Linux
• Node.js version: 20.11
• npm version: yarn 1
• release-please version: 16.10.0 with release-please-action@v4

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a shared preset for Renovate

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "github>abc/foo:xyz/sub#1.2.3",
    "github>abc/bar:xyz/sub#1.2.3"
  ]
}

2. Configure release please to update tags in preset file

{
  "release-type": "node",
  "packages": {
    ".": {
      "extra-files": [
        {
          "type": "json",
          "path": "presets/base.json",
          "jsonpath": "$.extends[*]"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Result

Release Please overrides the content of each line:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "1.2.4",
    "1.2.4"
  ]
}

Expected Result

Release Please should replace version in each line:

{
  "$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "github>abc/foo:xyz/sub#1.2.4",
    "github>abc/bar:xyz/sub#1.2.4"
  ]
}

Fix

in generic-json.ts, the function return only version number:

const nodes = jp.apply(data, this.jsonpath, _val => {
      return this.version.toString();
 });

In order to replace version in a sting:

const VERSION_REGEX =
  /(?<major>\d+)\.(?<minor>\d+)\.(?<patch>\d+)(-(?<preRelease>[\w.]+))?(\+(?<build>[-\w.]+))?/;
const nodes = jp.apply(data, this.jsonpath, (value) => {
     value.replace(VERSION_REGEX, this.version.toString())
});

Note: VERSION_REGEX comes from Generic Updater

This is the same issue as 2205, but it was for YAML. A workaround was found by using the Generic Updater. However, it is not possible for JSON files because comments are not supported in this file format.
