Multi-level node_modules Support

This fork version enhances support for multi-level node_modules directory structure, suitable for the following scenarios:

1. Nested node_modules Lookup

When the project has nested node_modules structure (e.g., node_modules/package-a/node_modules/package-b), the extension automatically traverses upward to find dependency packages until the target package is found or the workspace root is reached.

2. package-lock.json Support

Support in package-lock.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json:

• Parse nested package paths under packages field
• Parse hierarchical dependency relationships under dependencies field
• Automatically recognize .package-lock.json files

3. pnpm Directory Structure Support

Search Package feature supports pnpm's special directory structure:

• Packages under node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/

4. Monorepo Workspace Support

In monorepo projects, supports correctly resolving dependencies from sub-package directories, following Node.js module resolution rules to search upward.
