DX - composer replace - forking process is easier than we thought

Problem/Motivation

When a contrib module or dependency becomes problematic, we may need to bypass a dependency to be able to move forward on a short timeframe.

Composer replaces to the rescue!

@cmlara pointed out that he's used composer replaces to get around this.

He's created the bunny module as a replacement for rabbitmq

In composer, he uses composer replaces to replace drupal/rabbitmq with drupal/bunny.

@cmlara has offered to create a writeup for this. We should add a DX note for this documentation. I'll probably create my own documentation page on my public facing website.

https://git.drupalcode.org/project/bunny/-/blob/1.x/composer.json?ref_ty...

Directive in composer.json

    "replace": {
        "drupal/rabbitmq": "3.1.0"
    },

Steps to reproduce

a contrib module becomes problematic

fork it

then use composer replaces

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

Add DX notes for documentation purposes and for maintainers of this project and others.
