This reloads an npm package's dependency's information when a
version/version req/tag is not found.
This PR applies only to dependencies of npm packages. It does NOT yet
cause npm specifiers to have their dependency information cache busted.
That requires a different solution, but this should help cache bust in
more scenarios.
Part of #16901, but doesn't close it yet
This adds support for peer dependencies in npm packages.
1. If not found higher in the tree (ancestor and ancestor siblings),
peer dependencies are resolved like a dependency similar to npm 7.
2. Optional peer dependencies are only resolved if found higher in the
tree.
3. This creates "copy packages" or duplicates of a package when a
package has different resolution due to peer dependency resolution—see
https://pnpm.io/how-peers-are-resolved. Unlike pnpm though, duplicates
of packages will have `_1`, `_2`, etc. added to the end of the package
version in the directory in order to minimize the chance of hitting the
max file path limit on Windows. This is done for both the local
"node_modules" directory and also the global npm cache. The files are
hard linked in this case to reduce hard drive space.
This is a first pass and the code is definitely more inefficient than it
could be.
Closes #15823
