Move platform.json in accessible place

What are you trying to achieve?

I want programmatically to check sharp installed platform in node_modules. The only place that show this is platform.json

to check is it right sharp platform installed in node_modules its need to write function like this:

function checkInstalledSharpPlatform(targetPlatform, arch) {
 let shrapPath = require.resolve('sharp');
 shrapPath = path.join(shrapPath,'..','..','vendor','8.11.3','darwin-arm64v8','platform.json');

 if (!fs.existsSync(shrapPath)) {
      return false;
 }
 const data = fs.readFileSync(shrapPath, 'utf8');
 return data === '"' + targetPlatform + '-' + arch + '"';
}

but this function is not robust (8.11.3 folder or darwin-arm64v8 will be changed in the next sharp versions). Can we have platform.json in better place? (like node_modules/sharp/platform.json)

Added as sharp.vendor via commit https://github.com/lovell/sharp/commit/3da258f6fb1446bc8596070d06119e31c621a073

Example output:

{ current: 'linux-x64', installed: [ 'linux-x64', 'win32-ia32' ] }

This will be in v0.30.0.
