Allows lib package.json to define its dependencies appropriately between dependencies and peerDependencies, while providing a way to continue to inherit the workspace's pkg version

e.g. "foo": "[inherit]"

Current Behavior

If the options to update the package is true and a dependency is declared in the libraries package.json, it would not be updated.

Expected Behavior

If dependency is declared with "magic" string === [inherit]. The version will be updated from workspace package.json for that dependency.

This allows a library to maintain finer control over whether to use dependencies or peerDependencies for a given package, without giving up the ability to inherit the workspace's package.json version.

Hi @mckramer thank you for the PR, can you rebase the PR and fix the conflict?

Hey @mckramer! This PR has been sitting around for a bit. I have some concerns with using '[inherit]' as a version token inside the project's package.json, as if a workspace is also using package manager's workspace functionality (e.g. yarn workspaces), it would cause errors on installation.

As such, I'm going to go ahead and close this PR. Lets talk over potential solutions in an issue, and then after we agree with how to move forward a community member or team member can open a new PR.
