Golang psuedo-version parsed as valid semver

[sp3nx0r]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Ref: https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/discussions/17079

Renovate should be able to parse golang's "psuedo-versions" for dependencies that were added prior to the existence of a tagged version on its repo. Example repo https://github.com/sp3nx0r/renovate-golang-semver . In the example repo, it's pinned to v0.0.0-20220106215444-fb4bf637b56d which is the timestamp and commit sha combo of the latest commit.

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

Add parsing to take the - combo and evaluate git commits to see if that's latest (for patch upgrade) and check for normal tag (v0.1.0 etc.) for minor/major upgrades.

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

By the way, it's spelled pseudo. 😉

Please add a readme to the reproduction repo describing expected behavior vs actual. It's not clear form here and the repo about what is wrong.
