Allow PostHog packages to release individually

[marandaneto]

💡 Motivation and Context

A changeset that only bumped PostHog caused PostHog.AspNetCore and PostHog.AI to be versioned and released too, because their Changesets metadata used workspace:* for the internal PostHog dependency.

Switching those internal dependency ranges to workspace:^ keeps compatible PostHog patch/minor releases from forcing dependency-only bumps of the dependent packages, so each package can be released individually unless it has its own changeset or the dependency update falls outside the compatible range.

💚 How did you test it?

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
• Temporarily added a test changeset for only PostHog, ran pnpm changeset version, and verified only src/PostHog/package.json / src/PostHog/CHANGELOG.md changed for the release; PostHog.AspNetCore and PostHog.AI were not version-bumped. Reverted the temporary generated files before committing.
• git diff --check

📝 Checklist

• I reviewed the submitted code.
• I added tests to verify the changes.
• I updated the docs if needed.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.

@PostHog/team-client-libraries on the other hand this is quite nice, so not sure if we should keep as is and change the other monorepos to do this or if its better to be controlled, wdyt?

For me it makes a lot more sense for this to be controlled. So a base package update should not always release dependent packages. Otherwise the versions are too chained together, and a potential bug in a base package version will propagate to all packages immediately.

We'll also need to update the note in RELEASING.md as well
