[bug] replace_requires doesn't work with ranges on input side

[timpatt]

Describe the bug

I'd like to replace sqlite3/[>=3.44 <4] with sqlite3/3.50.4 to ensure that we can use the pre-built version of Qt 6.8.3 from the conancenter. The documentation doesn't actually mention this use-case but the original blog post does so I'm not sure which one is correct.

With the following in my.profile:

[replace_requires]
# This doesn't work:
#sqlite3/[>.3.44 <4]: sqlite3/3.50.4

# This does:
sqlite3/3.51.0: sqlite3/3.50.4

Running conan graph explain --requires=qt/6.8.3 -pr default -pr my.profile will fail to replace the sqlite3 requirement using the version range, but will succeed in replacing it if I just specify the version that it resolves to (currently!). The sqlite3 requirement specified in the Qt conanfile is:
self.requires("sqlite3/[>=3.45.0 <4]") which overlaps with mine and should match.

How to reproduce it

Hi @timpatt thanks a lot for taking the time to submit this.

Initially we though that this might be a simple typo, your profile example shows #sqlite3/[>.3.44 <4]: sqlite3/3.50.4 with an extra . in the begining, but further testing shows that we have an issue when matching version ranges when used as a pattern in the replace_require profile section. I have submitted #19324 to be fixed in Conan 2.24 after it gets reviewed by the team :)

If you can test the branch and confirm that the replacement works for you, that'd be great!

#19324 merged, it will be in next 2.24.

If you want to give it a try, it will be in the default develop2 branch of this repo. Thanks for the feedback!
