We still want to access nonpreferred versions in our parsed DB on occasion. E.g. cabal2nix cabal://chronologique currently fails because the package is deprecated and thus no version is preferred.
Now that we no longer filter out nonpreferred versions, users may want to do this themselves. We expose (for completeness sake and because we need to compute it anyways) the preferred VersionRange and tag every version individually for convenience.
Before the recent changes to hackage-db, cabal2nix cabal://<pkgname> (i.e. no explicit version requested) would never pick a nonpreferred version. This change restores the old behavior for packages that have preferred versions available. If none is available, we keep picking the latest one.
