Add npm dependency

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.javascript.AddDependency
Artifactorg.openrewrite:rewrite-javascript

Add an npm dependency to package.json and regenerate the lock file by running the package manager. If the dependency already exists in any scope, the recipe is a no-op. Not safe to use as a precondition: invokes the package manager and publishes per-project state shared with other dependency recipes.
