Describe the bug

yarn adds packageManager field even if standard devEngines is defined during update

To reproduce

$ npm i -g corepack

$ echo '{"devEngines": {"packageManager": {"name": "yarn", "version": "4.7.0"} } }' > package.json

$ yarn --version
4.7.0

$  yarn set version 4.8.0
➤ YN0000: Done in 0s 2ms

$ yarn
"packageManager" field is set to "[email protected]" which does not match the value defined in "devEngines.packageManager" for "yarn" of "4.7.0"

Observed

packageManager field is set to correct version of yarn, while devEngines.packageManager is not updated

$ cat package.json
{
  "devEngines": {
    "packageManager": {
      "name": "yarn",
      "version": "4.7.0"
    }
  },
  "packageManager": "[email protected]"
}

Expected

packageManager field is not added, and devEngines.packageManager.version is update to 4.8.0

$ cat package.json
{
  "devEngines": {
    "packageManager": {
      "name": "yarn",
      "version": "4.8.0"
    }
  }
}

Fixed in my project by manually updating devEngines.packageManager.version, and removing packageManager field Commit: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-codemod/pull/984/commits/0a36eff00f11f539188aafe8b67fb828167c813c in https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-codemod/pull/984

I noticed this issue again during yarn version update. It'll be helpful is yarn updates version in devEngines field, if the project already uses it.
