Fix crash case

[lukeapage]

What's the problem this PR addresses?

I raised a bug about deduping patch's (https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/issues/6055) and thought the crash in yarn was about the patch, but it was not.

This change stops yarn crashing.

How did you fix it?

The problem is that alot of dependencies reference node-gyp with npm:latest. The latest version in my yarn.lock file is 9.0.0, but yarn is finding the latest available to be 10.0.0.

So in getSatisfying, the descriptor is this:

{
  identHash: 'c463d28440264a050b6c82da90fae465d199a53c829a9fe2e382b672d4cbe014f84892bf0c630287a36347a4e407d33459c9581068c99d313332886ced75b781',
  scope: null,
  name: 'node-gyp',
  descriptorHash: '899f4448539abee8008ed64335a3b2bfb86e39a574e1267d2582a99b0865c3b00672068397645824a04ed0141f7f43c439ae8248539b250f8c76e24831ed0b94',
  range: 'npm:latest'

and makeDescriptor returns:

{
  identHash: 'c463d28440264a050b6c82da90fae465d199a53c829a9fe2e382b672d4cbe014f84892bf0c630287a36347a4e407d33459c9581068c99d313332886ced75b781',
  scope: null,
  name: 'node-gyp',
  descriptorHash: '48708ce70bc76e1f879f77affa6f744312cff313a2af15712d70a94f1b5e9382a4e1566ac8a75fb8c82ddbad727beca280bb7610d278c54b8c2d6ccbab77d231',
  range: 'npm:10.0.1'
}

but I guess because v10.0.1 is not in my yarn.lock file, getCandidates returns [] so resolvedLocator is undefined and yarn crashes.

I don't really know what I am doing so please feel free to suggest a different fix.

@arcanis please could you help telling me how I can get this reviewed?

@merceyz can you give any pointers on how to reproduce this situation? I need to define a yarn.lock file that has only v9 in it, bur yarn needs to be aware that a v10 exists and the package.json needs to ask for latest.. I feel like it would take me weeks to understand how this test code works.. I was able to make a fix by reproducing locally and debugging the place yarn crashed but as I said in the PR, I'm not familiar with what satsifying descriptors are etc.

(I did look at the tests and setup, but it seems to be for simpler cases than what I am trying to reproduce)
