feat: add a monorepo-wide `npm update` about syncpack HOT 4 CLOSED

I've decided not to do this as there are a lot of good tools out there for updating npm dependencies, I don't want to dilute the focus/purpose of syncpack too much. Thanks anyway for raising this.

Thanks @mesqueeb, this is a good idea and I may add this as a feature in the future. It would be low priority because there are other tools which do this, but it would fit well and could be a nice addition.

Incase it's useful to you, the way I do this today is to use npm-check-updates to update the versions in package.json files, then run a regular install afterwards.

1. Run ncu -u to update the root package.json.
2. Run lerna exec 'ncu -u' to update each package.json in the monorepo.

If lerna is installed locally to your project instead of as a global dependency you can run this instead...

If you use yarn:

yarn lerna exec 'ncu -u'

Or this if you use npm:

node_modules/.bin/lerna exec 'ncu -u'

EDIT: The above steps will update the package.json files only, you can then do an npm install afterwards.

Reopening as work has actually started on this, things are a bit different now and I think this could be a good fit.
Please subscribe to this issue to track progress.

Thanks @mesqueeb.
