Missing yarn.lock from the init repo breaks Yarn installs

See original GitHub issue

Description

The following commit removed the yarn.lock from gatsby-starter-default:

https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default/commit/a5368fa2bfe1afa1b50ad27e7ad35eaa36b191f8#diff-51e4f558fae534656963876761c95b83b6ef5da5103c4adef6768219ed76c2de

As a result, the init script now goes through the following codepath:

https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/b22384cc2cf297aa969f16bd8faee11cee5f79e8/packages/gatsby-cli/src/init-starter.ts#L113-L119

The yarn import command has been deprecated / removed in Yarn 2, and crashes.

Steps to reproduce

cd $(mktemp -d)
yarn init -2 -w
yarn dlx gatsby new my-gatsby

Expected result

Works

Actual result

Breaks

My understanding was that we were only removing it from the minimal starter because it was targetting a canary, and with that we were removing both lockfiles. I don’t know why we’d remove it from others.

If that’s the case shouldn’t package-lock.json have been deleted as well?
