Fix CRAN package version validation to allow more than 4 version components (#36813)

[GiteaBot]

Backport #36813 by @Copilot

R packages like RcppEigen use versions with 5+ components (e.g., 0.3.4.0.2), which were rejected with "package version is invalid" due to an overly restrictive regex.

R's numeric_version spec imposes no upper bound on version components, so the {1,3} quantifier (limiting to 4 total components) was incorrect.

Changes

• modules/packages/cran/metadata.go: Relax version regex from {1,3} to +, accepting any number of dot/dash-separated integer components ≥ 2:

  - versionPattern = regexp.MustCompile(`\A[0-9]+(?:[.\-][0-9]+){1,3}\z`)
  + versionPattern = regexp.MustCompile(`\A[0-9]+(?:[.\-][0-9]+)+\z`)

• modules/packages/cran/metadata_test.go: Remove 1.2.3.4.5 / 1-2-3-4-5 from the invalid-version list; add ValidVersionManyComponents test covering 0.3.4.0.2, 1.2.3.4.5, and 1-2-3-4-5.
