bun install: support for minimumReleaseAge (#22801)

### What does this PR do?

fixes #22679

* includes a better error if a package cant be met because of the age
(but would normally)
* logs the resolved one in --verbose (which can be helpful in debugging
to show it does know latest but couldn't use)
* makes bun outdated show in the table when the package isn't true
latest
* includes a rudimentary "stability" check if a later version is in
blacked out time (but only up to 7 days as it goes back to latest with
min age)


For extended security we could also Last-Modified header of the tgz
download and then abort if too new (just like the hash)


| install error with no recent version | bun outdated respecting the
rule |

For stable release we will make it use `3d` type syntax instead of magic
second numbers.

## Minimum release age
To protect against supply chain attacks where malicious packages are quickly published, you can configure a minimum age requirement for npm packages. Package versions published more recently than the specified threshold (in seconds) will be filtered out during installation.
```bash
# Only install package versions published at least 3 days ago
$ bun add @types/bun --minimum-release-age 259200 # seconds
```
You can also configure this in `bunfig.toml`:
```toml
[install]
# Only install package versions published at least 3 days ago
minimumReleaseAge = 259200 # seconds
# Exclude trusted packages from the age gate
minimumReleaseAgeExcludes = ["@types/node", "typescript"]
```
When the minimum age filter is active:
- Only affects new package resolution - existing packages in `bun.lock` remain unchanged
- All dependencies (direct and transitive) are filtered to meet the age requirement when being resolved
- When versions are blocked by the age gate, a stability check detects rapid bugfix patterns
- If multiple versions were published close together just outside your age gate, it extends the filter to skip those potentially unstable versions and selects an older, more mature version
- Searches up to 7 days after the age gate, however if still finding rapid releases it ignores stability check
- Exact version requests (like `package@1.1.1`) still respect the age gate but bypass the stability check
- Versions without a `time` field are treated as passing the age check (npm registry should always provide timestamps)
For more advanced security scanning, including integration with services & custom filtering, see [Package manager > Security Scanner API](https://bun.com/docs/install/security-scanner-api).

Configure a minimum age (in seconds) for npm package versions. Package versions published more recently than this threshold will be filtered out during installation. Default is `null` (disabled).
