The versioning scheme for some libraries built by our repositories has changed.
The old versioning was <build-number>-<hash> - so like "3-abc123a" could be followed by "4-0a0b0c3"
They now use semantic versioning - X.Y.Z - so "1.0.0", "2.0.0", "2.0.1"
How can I configure renovate to recognize that 1.0.0 is newer than 45-b765c42 ?

Ideas:

1. If it's only in a few locations, just make the update manually to 1.0.0 yourself. You may also need to have a setting to tell Renovate to ignore the older scheme (e.g. set versioning=semver)
2. If it's in many locations, try using replacement rules to replace 45-b765c42 with e.g. 1.0.0
