What's the problem this PR addresses?

It's currently impossible to use the pack-time workspace version management to let Yarn inject the right version number for inter-workspaces peer dependencies when publishing a package. As a result, merging release branches lead to painful merge conflicts.

How did you fix it?

The peerDependencies field now accepts the workspace: specifier (only with a semver range; relative workspace paths aren't supported unlike other dependency types). When found, Yarn will check that the inherited peer dependency is a workspace, and that it matches the specified range.

Additionally, the workspace:^, workspace:~, and workspace:* specifiers are now supported as well and will be replaced at publish time by respectively ^1.0.0, ~1.0.0, and 1.0.0 (assuming the target workspace is version 1.0.0).

One option I initially considered was to just accept ^ and ~ as aliases for *. However I eventually decided against it since it would depart from the syntax used in dependencies/peer dependencies. Still, to be completely clear, this improvement doesn't change that peer dependencies don't/cannot enforce the source of a peer dependency in any general term (for example, you can't enforce that the peer dependency must be filled via a file: dependency). Workspaces are quite special to many aspects, and this is one of them - it doesn't change the general rule.

Checklist

  • I have set the packages that need to be released for my changes to be effective.
  • I will check that all automated PR checks pass before the PR gets reviewed.

It's not strictly required to fulfil the goal of this PR but we should be able to remove the two constraints above this and make this one target all dependency types.

Yep I didn't want to make the diff too large, but I'll do it as soon as it gets merged.
