ModuleFast/PWSHGallery do not have support for hiding/filtering unlisted packages #103
Description
Because pwsh.gallery does not handle prereleases properly, at least for some modules, ModuleFast offers prerelease versions as stable.
More info in this issue: JustinGrote/PWSHGallery#5
Testing with PowerShell v7.4.6 -NoProfile and ModuleFast v0.5.1:
PowerShell 7.4.6
PS C:\Users\olav.birkeland> Import-module -name 'modulefast'
PS C:\Users\olav.birkeland> $Destination = [string] '{0}\Microsoft\PowerShell\Modules' -f $env:LOCALAPPDATA
PS C:\Users\olav.birkeland> $InstalledModules = [string[]](
>> [System.IO.Directory]::GetDirectories($Destination).ForEach{$_.Split([System.IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar)[-1]}
>> )
PS C:\Users\olav.birkeland> ModuleFast\Install-ModuleFast -Destination $Destination -Name $InstalledModules `
>> -DestinationOnly -NoPSModulePathUpdate -NoProfileUpdate -Update -WhatIf
Install-ModuleFast [Plan ]
What if: Performing the operation "Install 2 Modules" on target "C:\Users\olav.birkeland\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerShell\Modules".

So the problem is that, at least in ThreadJob's case, the module actually does exist in PowerShell Gallery, it's just unlisted.
https://psg-prod-eastus.azureedge.net/packages/threadjob.3.0.0.nupkg
I don't think sleet is respecting the listed property, tho I'm having trouble getting it to appear for powershellgallery itself with the same queries.
https://pwsh.gallery/registration/microsoft.powershell.threadjob/3.0.0.json
The same is true of EnterprisePolicyAsCode, a 10.7.6 actually does exist, it's just unlisted, but it has a higher preference than -beta per Semver Rules.
This isn't modulefast specific as far as I can tell, tho I'll need to check for honoring unlisted entries if they show up. Instead I need to make sure listed:false is carrying thru in https://github.com/justingrote/gallerysync

I found that the listed property isn't part of the nuget package itself (I guess obviously) so I'm going to need a separate process that updates the sleet registry and flips the listed bool for packages not listed in PowerShell Gallery.
As a workaround, please pin your module versions.
