feat: strip version info from the search query

[gameroman]

See #1626

🔗 Linked issue

Partially addresses #1416

🧭 Context

Currently, when searching for a package along with version info (e.g. when copying a package name from the output of a package manager) it just returns random results, instead of useful ones. (e.g. https://npmx.dev/search?q=nuxt@3.4.1)

This pr strips the version info from the query to improve search results.

📚 Description

This pr implements a new regex query to extract essential date from the search query on the search page, such as package scope (which replaces an existing method), package specifier and (optionally) version info. The query is then reconstructed without version info to support the existing search api. It can currently parse a package name in the following format:

@scope/specifier@version

An object containing the separate parts of the query is exposed as the parsedQuery ref and it is able to be used for other features. (Such as implementing the other part of the linked issue)
