fix(core): improve packages recognition when the package version is an external package

[newsiberian]

Current Behavior

After updating from nx@20.0.12 to nx@20.3.0 our docusaurus dep starts blocking us from running any nx command because of the error described in the linked issue

The "nx/js/dependencies-and-lockfile" plugin threw an error while creating dependencies: Target project does not exist: npm:react-helmet-async@npm:@slorber/react-helmet-async@*

Expected Behavior

Packages with such deps, like: "react-helmet-async": "npm:@slorber/react-helmet-async@*" shouldn't break any nx command

Fixes #27285
