feat: replacement support for all managers

[t-kulmburg]

As requested I am splitting my replacement pr #17476.
This pr contains the main replacement logic and lots of tests.

I'm so in need of replacement for docker. This feature is a slam dunk to help me solve for a number of deprecated docker images I need teams to swap out. Any ideas on ETA?

Any updates here? @JamieMagee

Any updates here? @JamieMagee

Apologies. I can find time to sit down and review both PRs in depth this weekend.

[JamieMagee]

Couple of small comments, but otherwise this looks good. Especially thanks for the extensive test coverage!

[rarkins]

Any regression here would have a major impact. How confident is everybody and how widely has this been tested, not only on replacements but on existing autoreplace use cases?

[JamieMagee]

Does merging this PR mean that you can now get replacements for old deprecated dependencies for all package managers? Of course the replacements still need to be programmed into the code for each package.

@HonkingGoose merging this PR will add replacement support for all managers except:

• bazel
• git-submodules
• gomod
• gradle
• hermit
• homebrew
• maven
• regex

Very keen on this, currently trying to migrate some internal gitlab-ci.yml, so want to replace

includes:
- project: 'a/b/c'
    ref: 2-2-0

with either

includes:
- project: 'z/x/y'
    ref: 2-2-0

or if needs be can tag new region

includes:
- project: 'z/x/y'
    ref: 2-2-1

[HonkingGoose]

We can prevent the reader confusing the replacementName and replacementVersion sections by saying which "field" they should use.

I'm also rewriting the sentence for extra clarity.

@t-kulmburg @rarkins looks like we might have all the approvals to merge? (I'm so very interested in this feature) 🥇

[t-kulmburg]

@rarkins let me know if there is anything more you want me to do here
