[Pkg-javascript-devel] dh-sequence-nodejs improvements

Hi all,

when dh-sequence-nodejs (0.11.9, better with 0.11.10) detects a 
"maybe-bundled-package" (ie webpack/browserify/rollup), it:
  * generates some pkgjs-lock.json files
  * generates a ${nodejs:BuiltUsing} variable usable in debian/control
    (see [1])

The goal here is to be able to launch a transition is case of CVE in a 
source of a bundled package.

To use ${nodejs:BuiltUsing}, simply add:

   Package: node-foo
   Built-Using: ${nodejs:BuiltUsing}

pkgjs-lock files are also used by pkgjs-audit: this tool launches a `npm 
audit` using Debian dependencies, not dependencies found in package.json.

   $ pkgjs-audit @babel/core
   found 0 vulnerabilities

Notes:
  * pkgjs-lock.json contains all module+version used, including those
    existing in a node_modules dir (and declared in package.json)
  * there is one pkgjs-lock.json in each installed module
  * ${nodejs:BuildUsing} contains only Debian packages + versions.

Cheers,
Yadd
