Really inefficient resolution

See original GitHub issue

Suppose we are in /a/b/c/d.js and require some-thing and node_modules is in /a/node_modules, node-resolve handles this extremely efficiently

Current behavior:

Checks these in order to see which one exists

/a/b/c/node_modules/some-thing.js
/a/b/c/node_modules/some-thing/node_modules/package.json
/a/b/node_modules/some-thing.js
/a/b/node_modules/some-thing/node_modules/package.json
/a/b/c/node_modules/some-thing.js
/a/b/c/node_modules/some-thing/node_modules/package.json
/a/node_modules/some-thing.js
/a/node_modules/some-thing/node_modules/package.json

It gets even more inefficient as the number of possible extension grows, it does some many stats that for our module bundler bundling our app it can easily get to a hundred thousand unnecessary stats

The ideal behavior would be

/a/b/c/node_modules
/a/b/node_modules
/a/node_modules
/a/node_modules/some-thing.js
/a/node_modules/some-thing/node_modules/package.json

I’m on resolve@1.2.0 at the time of writing

That seems reasonable.

I’d happily review a PR for it, but I’m not likely to have time in the near future.
