[SIP-14] remove dependency on "Yarn" package in favor of `npm`

See original GitHub issue

Motivation

Simplify the build pipeline, and standardize our build process. There was a time where npm was slow, and builds were not deterministic, that is not the case anymore. npm has long regained trust in the community and using yarn makes our builds more complex, less standard, and our dependency tree larger.

More information here https://iamturns.com/yarn-vs-npm-2018/, searching for npm vs yarn 2018 will return similar articles making the same points.

Proposed Change

Remove the dependency on the yarn package, solely rely on npm and close-to-npm packages in our Javascript build pipeline.

New or Changed Public Interfaces

N/A

New dependencies

BTW this does not represent much work, probably just a simple small PR. I just wanted to make sure that we have consensus on this before proceeding.

Personally I’m fine with the npm alternative here, plus we do not currently use resolutions in yarn. Sending a PR
