CT: Fix semver syntax in dependencies.ts file when defining CT frameworks

[mike-plummer]

File packages/scaffold-config/src/dependencies.ts uses improper syntax for many version ranges

^= is not technically valid and appears to work through a fluke of the library. Should just be ^ when defining compatible ranges. Update syntax and validate expected CT frameworks are still treated as supported.

This is about packages/scaffold-config/src/dependencies.ts minVersion, for instance

cypress/packages/scaffold-config/src/dependencies.ts

Line 7 in 68a2976

minVersion: '^=4.0.0 || ^=5.0.0',

used in

cypress/packages/scaffold-config/src/frameworks.ts

Lines 72 to 74 in 68a2976

	const satisfied = Boolean(pkg.version && semver.satisfies(pkg.version, dependency.minVersion, {
	includePrerelease: true,
	}))

As mentioned in #27473 (comment)

node-semver > versions states

A leading "=" or "v" character is stripped off and ignored.

so the "=" does not belong in the syntax, however it does not appear to cause any harm (apart from possibly being confusing to the human reader🙂)! Nevertheless it should probably be cleaned up.

@mike-plummer

• PR feat: add support for angular 17 #28152 from @jordanpowell88 corrected the syntax in packages/scaffold-config/src/dependencies.ts

There are no more occurrences of the incorrect syntax ^= in that source file, so this issue can be closed.

The issue should be mentioned in the CHANGELOG.md as being resolved.
