[BUG] Allow sentimental versioning

[binarykitchen]

This error is thrown in my project

Error: Invalid version: "207-alpha1-SNAPSHOT"

Our version in package.json is sentimental, not in semver.

In error stack trace I can see above error comes from

    at Object.fixVersionField (.../node_modules/normalize-package-data/lib/fixer.js:191:13)
    at .../node_modules/normalize-package-data/lib/normalize.js:32:38

Not sure if this is related to your project. Feel free to close if I'm wrong here.

Thanks.

Ping? Anyone?

one of the requirements for npm packages is that their version field conform to semver.

See the docs for more info https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#version
