[BUG] `subset('>=17.2.0', '^17.2.0 || >17')` should be `true`

[scagood]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

const subset = require("semver/ranges/subset")

subset('^17.2.0 || >17', '>=17.2.0') // true
subset('>=17.2.0', '^17.2.0 || >17') // false

subset('^17.2.0 || >=18', '>=17.2.0') // true
subset('>=17.2.0', '^17.2.0 || >=18') // false

Expected Behavior

const subset = require("semver/ranges/subset")

subset('^17.2.0 || >17', '>=17.2.0') // true
subset('>=17.2.0', '^17.2.0 || >17') // true

subset('^17.2.0 || >=18', '>=17.2.0') // true
subset('>=17.2.0', '^17.2.0 || >=18') // true
