Add support for catalog references in peer dependencies

[WooWan]

What's the problem this PR addresses?

Fixes: #6925

What?

Added catalog: protocol support in peerDependencies. Previously, catalog: references worked in dependencies and devDependencies but were incorrectly flagged as errors in peerDependencies.

How?

• Created resolvePeerDescriptorFromCatalog to resolve catalog: references from project configuration

• Registered a reducePeerDependency hook in the resolution pipeline to intercept and resolve catalog: references in peer deps

Fixes #6925

How did you fix it?

Updated the dependency range validation logic in Manifest.ts to treat catalog: protocol as a valid range format. This prevents catalog references from being
flagged as errors when used in peer dependencies.

Hi,
any update on this one would be nice to use also catalog references inside the peerDeps. 🙏🏻

I'm not certain that's correct - afaik the reduceDependency hook we use to apply catalog updates doesn't iterate over peerDependencies, so we'd always keep the catalog: range in the peerDependencies field rather than replacing it.

I'm not very familiar with reduceDependency, do you think the fundamental solution would be to fix reduceDependency so that it iterates over peerDependencies as well?

[arcanis]

That would be a breaking change, as 3rd-party plugins would have their behavior changed in hard-to-predict ways.

Probably the safest is to introduce a reducePeerDependency hook here and here. I'm a little worried about the potential perf impact but it's worth a shot.

Hey,
still looking forward to get catalog ranges enabled for peerDependencies. @WooWan please let me know if you can finished it otherwise I would offer some help.

I've been busy and haven't been able to get to the PR. I'll work on it by next weekend!

@arcanis @MKruschke Hello! I've added a reducePeerDependency hook and test code. Verified that it works. Happy to get a review!
