support symlinked packages

Hello,

it seems like I`m unable to use symlinked packages via lerna. When I start it with sls offline it works. When I try to deploy it always takes the npm - version of my (monorepo) package instead of the local version

This is a Feature Proposal

Description

For feature proposals: detect if a package is symlinked and copy/attach this to the node_modules folder for webpack.

• If there is additional config how would it look

  webpack: includeModules: forceSymlink: - [packagename]

@mogusbi-motech @pharindoko I managed to work around the issue by switching to the file:../package-name notation in my dependencies.

I did not need to add my symlinked module to webpack-node-externals’s whitelist. But I did need to use the following setting in serverless.yml to get rid of my dependency’s devDependencies which were raising my bundle size way above the 250mb limit:

  webpack:
    packagerOptions:
      scripts:
        - (cd node_modules/package-name && npm prune --production)

Any workaround or help is appreciated too. I cannot use local symlinked packages added by “lerna add” command.
