Description of the change:
Don't generate a skips edge for Y.Z(max) to Y-1.Z(max).
Motivation for the change:
semver template expansion would include a skips link for Y.Z(max) for Y-1.Z(max), but we want Y transitions (for major-versioned channels) to replace the previous Y's Z(max). Unfortunately, due to OLMv0 graph mechanics, the skips results in discarding the replaces link, so the upgrade is broken. (For OLMv1, no graph contributions are ignored.)
Using a new version of opm which can highlight v0 upgrade graph semantics, this problem is clearer. Below picture shows limned in red every package whose contributions are ignored because of the presence of skips links, and every ignored link is ch

anged to a red, dashed line.
The updated flow will no longer generate a skip for a replaces edge, which renders the below graph, which has full mobility across the graph.
