fixes #4041 (and possibly others)
Yarn would previously traverse up the directory tree looking for a workspace
package.json
.This PR prevents this behavior by writing a dummy
package.json
so yarn stops looking.Solves errors that occur when a
package.json
exists in a parent directory (such as the user home directory or the root directory). Even when those errors don't occur, this may speed up execution very slightly by making fewer disk calls.
