feat(release): add 'git-tag' currentVersionResolver and conventional commits support

[fahslaj]

• Adds git-tag as a currentVersionResolver option for nx release version. This option will cause the current version for the release group to be taken from the most recent matching release tag, as configured with releaseTagPattern.

• Adds support for using conventional commits to determine the specifier for the version bump. In this case, the nx release version command will look at git tags to determine which git ref to use as a base. Commits since the base will be parsed and any commits that touched files within any lib in the release group will be used to help determine the next version. Right now, only fix(...) and feat(...) are recognized, but breaking changes are recognized (fix(...)!: ...). If the previous version (from the git tag) is determined to be a prerelease, the bump type will always be prerelease. The user will need to promote prereleases to regular releases manually by passing an explicit specifier, which will override that obtained from conventional commits standards.

• Uses npm config get registry to determine the default registry before falling back on https://registry.npmjs.org

• Moves the specifier prompting into the version generator. This allows the current version determined in the generator to be used to determine the specifier when using conventional commits.
