What's the problem this PR addresses?

There are a number of comments/issues that discuss a desire to control what architecture/cpu/libc dependencies should be added to zero installs:

An increasingly common use case is that devs and servers use totally mismatching OS and CPU architectures. For example, your developers might run Macbook Pro M5s (x86_64-darwin) and your servers might run x86-64-linux. You only need two architectures in this case but with the current supportedArchitectures schema, are required to install x86_64-linux x86_64-darwin, aarch64-linux and aarch64-darwin. This is wasteful and can put unnecessary burden on network or Git infrastructure.

This PR attempts to address solving this issue by allowing fine grain control over the exact architecture to download rather than having these architectures be expanded via a combinatorial matrix of fields.

How did you fix it?

I have gone with what I think is the least opinionative, most flexible structure: Just a list of objects that require you to specify os/cpu/libc as fields.

We've seen a ~20-25% reduction in .yarn/cache size as a consequence of using this alternative schema:

Before:

du -sh .yarn/cache
1.9G    .yarn/cache

After:

du -sh .yarn/cache
1.5G    .yarn/cache

## What's the problem this PR addresses?

A review of recent Berry PRs identified several fixes and regression
tests that also apply to zpm. This PR backports them in one batch.

## How did I fix it?

**Bug fixes (the ported regression tests reproduced each of these before
the fix):**

- yarnpkg/berry#7205 — `*` now resolves to prereleases when a package
has no stable version. The fallback only applies to a literal `*` range
(not the internal `>=0.0.0-0` any-range), and `--check-resolutions`
accepts the resulting prerelease pins.
- yarnpkg/berry#7216 — the nm linker now prefers direct dependency
binaries over transitively-hoisted aliases when two packages expose the
same bin name, instead of resolving collisions by ident order.
- yarnpkg/berry#7209 — commands that need an npm OTP now fail with a
`--otp` hint when not attached to an interactive terminal, instead of
blocking forever on a prompt.
- yarnpkg/berry#7255 — `yarn npm audit --recursive --environment
production` no longer reports advisories only reachable through a nested
workspace's devDependencies.
- yarnpkg/berry#7253 — `yarn info --virtuals` now reports base
descriptors alongside virtual locators (zpm had the mirror image of
Berry's bug: correct locators, virtualized descriptors).
- yarnpkg/berry#7206 — a failed Algolia auto-types lookup no longer
aborts `yarn add`; it degrades to a warning (with the `enableAutoTypes`
escape hatch) and the lookup is bounded by a 10s per-request timeout.

**Feature:**

- yarnpkg/berry#7243 — `supportedArchitectures` additionally accepts a
list of explicit os/cpu/libc combinations (matched per-entry, no
cross-product), with the same config syntax as Berry.

**Tests only (zpm's behavior was already correct):**

- yarnpkg/berry#7250 / yarnpkg/berry#7257 — gate bypass for packages
without release-time metadata, plus the `no-time-deps` fixture and
registry-mock support.
- yarnpkg/berry#7214 — scoped-gate inheritance tests, adapted to zpm's
`packageRules`/`sourceRules` model (zpm's Option-based overrides make
Berry's default-shadowing bug structurally impossible).

**Artifact sync:**

- Re-ran `scripts/import-artifacts.mjs` against Berry master, picking up
yarnpkg/berry#7232 and the extensions hunk of yarnpkg/berry#7228 (8 new
package extensions: 5 Volar `typescript` peers,
`vite-plugin-vue-devtools`, 2 Parcel entries) along with forward-only
PnP hook/patch updates.

## Checklist

- [x] I have read the [Contributing
Guide](https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/contributing).
- [x] I have checked that all the impacted tests pass: the touched
acceptance suites (npmMinimalAgeGate, prunedNativeDeps, protocols/npm,
npm/audit, info, publish, node-modules, packageExtensions,
checkResolutions, add) pass 215/218 (3 skipped), plus `cargo test` for
zpm-config (7) and zpm-semver (108). The only remaining local failures
reproduce identically on a pristine `main` build (venv/Python
environment, one live-Algolia-data test, `path_iterators` and two
lazyInstalls focus-coverage tests).

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Touches core install resolution, architecture filtering, and audit
traversal; behavior changes are intentional but affect many installs and
multi-arch fetches.
> 
> **Overview**
> Backports a batch of Berry fixes and tests into zpm, covering install
resolution, CLI behavior, configuration, and artifact sync.
> 
> **Resolution & install:** Literal `*` ranges can resolve to
prereleases when no stable versions exist, with matching
`--check-resolutions` acceptance. Algolia auto-`@types` lookup is capped
at 10s, warns instead of failing `yarn add`, and respects
`enableAutoTypes`. HTTP requests gain a per-request `.timeout()` bounded
by `httpTimeout`.
> 
> **Commands & linkers:** `npm publish` errors with a `--otp` hint when
not on an interactive TTY. Recursive production `npm audit` skips nested
workspaces’ devDependencies. `yarn info --virtuals` shows physical
descriptors with virtual locators. Node-modules bin symlinks prefer
direct dependencies over hoisted aliases.
> 
> **`supportedArchitectures`:** Schema becomes a `oneOrMany` list of
entries with `ArchitectureFilter` fields (`null` = any). Legacy
single-object YAML still works; project config replaces (not merges)
user entries. Matching uses `SystemSet` / `supported_systems()` with
per-entry validation instead of a flat cross-product of all systems.
> 
> **Artifacts:** `builtin-extensions.json` gains Volar, Vite devtools,
and Parcel peer entries; package manager pin updated.
