package.json updater script

[jacbn]

When reviewing dependencies for updates, we often run yarn update-interactive or yarn audit etc. These do not check/update the version numbers specified in package.json, but rather the versions in yarn.lock (those actually used when running yarn). There is no real issue with this, but it means package.json, which would otherwise be a very easy way to check what versions of dependencies we have installed, is often out of date and is not a reliable reference. As some simple housekeeping, I have created a script to go through the genuinely-used versions in yarn.lock and, if there is a discrepancy, print this to the console for manual checking/updating.

Some thoughts:

• Should scripts exist in a /scripts directory? There are a few we could move now (the release scripts should probably stay where they are) to clean up the root.
• Should this update the versions automatically or is it best to keep it manual?

We have discussed this script and are happy with it, I was waiting on confirmation on whether to put it in a scripts folder or not. We decided this was a good idea and should generally do this going forwards.
