Respect package.json update policy for packages

See original GitHub issue

In my package.json I’m using pinned versions. It would be cool to keep it that away after doing updates.

I would even expect that it can be set per-package. So if one package uses ~ or ^ or exact version (installed with --save-exact) it should not be altered in the resulting package.json

There is now a --save-exact feature, thanks to @pgilad https://github.com/dylang/npm-check/pull/91

npm i -g npm-check to get version 5 which has this feature.

+1 … changes my exact version to ^, which is unfortunate.
