Support pnpm

See original GitHub issue

Pre-flight checklist

I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project uses.
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem description

Using pnpm does not seem to work with electron-forge. An error is thrown when executing pnpx electron-forge import and I do not see any mention of pnpm in the repository and docs.

It would be nice if it worked as pnpm is becoming more and more popular.

Proposed solution

Allow pnpm to work and show working in docs along npm and yarn.

Alternatives considered

npm and yarn

This isn’t just a case of supporting pnpm with hoist enabled in this repository, several core dependencies do package traversal. The key ones being:

Galactus depends on flora-colossus so if support is added correctly in the former galactus may Just Work™️

Then there’s the stuff in this repository, most of which I believe is tied into the yarn-or-npm helper and routed into various helpers throughout the codebase

Try the solution from electron-builder: https://www.electron.build/index.html#note-for-pnpm

My .npmrc file in the project root looks so:

node-linker=hoisted
public-hoist-pattern=*
