Feature request: support update `devEngines.packageManager.version`

[zanminkian]

devEngines is supported by npm (since v10.9.0) and corepack (sice v0.32.0). It looks like a successor of packageManager. Supporting this would be greate.

Since node20 is EOL, now all supported LTS node.js can recognize this field with its built-in npm and corepack. pnpm v11 now supports this field too.

For project maintainance consideration, splitting devEngines and engines is better. This gives maintainers motivation switching to this field:

{
  // we support node>= 22 (active LTS)
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=22"
  },
  // but we want all contributors running on latest node 24 while developing
  "devEngines": {
    "packageManager": {
      "name": "pnpm",
      // we should expect tools like npm-check-updates bumping this automatically
      "version": "11.3.0",
      "onFail": "download"
    },
    "runtime": {
      "name": "node",
      // a version greater than 24.15 but no 25 or 26
      "version": "^24.15.0",
      "onFail": "error"
    }
  }
}

@raineorshine Any chance to support it? The community would need this, it should be the time adding support this now after node20's EOL

I'm not in a position to add the feature myself, but I'd be happy to support a PR.
