Switch to npm

[chmanie]

yarn was great at a time when npm was lacking the speed, the consistency and the features it provided. These days are over now as npm has caught up. I propose to switch this project (back?) to npm and with that improve compatibility (node version usually determines npm version) and remove dependencies while at the same time create consistency with all other Colony projects.

I used https://github.com/imsnif/synp to convert the yarn.lock to a package-lock.json. The process is like so:

1. Freshly clone the repository with the newest yarn.lock file
2. Run yarn --frozen-lockfile
3. Remove any existing package-lock.json
4. Run npx synp --source-file yarn.lock --with-workspace
5. Run npm install
6. After that you should end up with a valid package-lock.json

We also move from Meta to Microsoft :grimacing:

Changes for the run-scripts:

• To run executables from the .bin folder, in the package.json one does not need to use yarn or yarn run, so I removed those
• yarn EXECUTABLE in other places was replaced with npx EXECUTABLE (the npm canonical way to execute the .bin executables)
• yarn (run) SCRIPT in the package.json was replaced with npm run SCRIPT

It seems to be going through fine. We still have to test/adjust the following:

• Does the reputation miner still work?
• We need to adjust various docker images I assume, especially rebuild the reputation miner's
• We probably also need to adjust things on some production servers?

Note: as this PR is based on top of #1052 I suggest to merge that PR first and have the CircleCI checks run on this one

This PR closes #1050.

Can we please be kept in the look as when this makes it's way into develop as it will affect the dapp's provision script

It works! All the tests are passing and I also tested the reputation miner locally.

Rebased and working again! I applied npm audit fix which should have resolved all the security issues
