`package.json` allows for a [`"files"` whitelist][files] to be specified as an
alternative to a top-level `.npmignore` within a package root. Maintaining
whitelists is generally easier and less error-prone than maintaining
blacklists, so implement a `"files"` list for all non-private packages in the
monorepo and remove unneeded `.npmignore` files.
Switch `embark-reset` from being a private package to one that will be
published, adjust the workspace's `"nohoist"` setting accordingly, and no
longer specify `embark-reset` as a bundled dependency of `packages/embark`. I
originally thought there might be a good reason not to publish it, but I no
longer think so.
Remove unnecessary LICENSE files in `packages/{embark,embark-ui}` since Lerna
will automatically copy the root LICENSE into any packages lacking that file,
i.e. before tarballs are packed and published to the NPM registry.
Change the `"author"` field of `packages/embarkjs-connector-web3` to match the
other packages, i.e. such that it matches the copyright assignment in the root
LICENSE. If that's not a desirable thing to do, then instead that package can
have a separate LICENSE file that has a copyright assignment for `"Jonathan
Rainville"`.
Supply some missing `.npmrc` files in `packages/*`.

Make changes by running this command in the root of the monorepo:
```shell
npx lerna exec --concurrency 1 --stream -- \
'DIRPATH=$(realpath $PWD --relative-to=$LERNA_ROOT_PATH); \
npx json -I -f package.json -e \
"this.repository=\
{\"directory\": \"$DIRPATH\", \
\"type\": \"git\", \
\"url\": \"https://github.com/embark-framework/embark.git\"}"'
```
Don't commit changes to private packages, with the exceptions of embark-typings
and embark-reset because those may switch from private to public, and also
because the latter will be included in `node_modules` of embark even if it is
private since embark-reset is presently a bundled dependency of embark.
Don't include the repository field in dapps generated from the template
packages, except for the demo.
Previously, templates were in a subdirectory of `packages/embark`. Reorganize
them so that they are member packages of the monorepo. This allows them to
cleanly depend on other members of the monorepo,
e.g. `embarkjs-connector-web3`.
It is desirable for the templates, in the context of the monorepo, to specify
embark as a dependency, to take advantage of `npx embark test` (and it's a
"forward looking" setup re: how we plan to evolve embark). However, if embark
were to specify the template packages as dependencies a circular relationship
would be introduced, which is [unsupported by Lerna][circular]. Therefore,
revise the template generator so that all templates are resolved / fetched at
runtime, i.e. `boilerplate`, `demo`, and `simple` are no longer
"built-ins" *per se*. This change won't be apparent to embark's users, but it
does mean that the template generator won't work (in a production install of
embark) if it can't connect to the npm registry, i.e. when the user runs
`embark demo` or `embark new [--simple]`. When embark is inside the monorepo,
templates are resolved and copied from the yarn workspace rather than being
fetched from the registry, which is convenient for development. Also, any
template dependencies that are members of the monorepo are linked into the
copied template's `node_modules` rather than being installed from the registry,
again for convenience. During template generation, remove scripts and
dependencies that pertain only to membership in the monorepo; for now, that
involves removing embark as a dependency since we're not quite ready for that
arrangement to be the default, i.e. outside of the monorepo.
Refactor the root scripts so that more of them can consistently be used with
Lerna's filter options, e.g. `--scope` and `--ignore`. "Combo" scripts that
don't support filtering generally have a `:full` postfix.
Flip `clean` and `reset` scripts at the root and in the member packages for
consistency re: Lerna's notion of `clean` and embark's notion of `reset`. Have
each package run its `reset` script when its `clean` script is invoked (and
that's all for now), relying on `lerna clean` to delete packages'
`node_modules` in view of how Lerna's topological sorting works.
Lift the implementation of `embark reset` into a private package in
`packages/embark-reset` and make it a bundled dependency of embark. Packages in
`dapps/*` depend on `embark-reset` directly and make use of it with `npx
embark-reset` (but only in monorepo context). This removes a "wart" where
reboots could show errors when embark's sources aren't already built in
`packages/embark/dist`. Users will not notice any difference since `embark
reset` works as before, transparently making use of the `embark-reset`
package. The only downside to having it be a bundled dependency of embark is
that bundled deps have all of their `node_modules` included in the tarball
built with `npm pack` (that's why having the templates as bundled dependencies
of embark isn't a viable approach). However, `embark-reset` only has one
dependency, `rimraf`, which is a tiny module, so the cost seems acceptable.
As part of the reorganization, move `test_dapps` into `dapps/tests` and
`packages/embark/templates` into `dapps/templates`. Keep the directory names
short but revise the package names to facilitate simple filtering with
`embark-dapp-*`. Consolidate `.yarnrc` and `.gitignore` and clean up some
redundant ignore listings.
Scripts run with `--scope embark-dapp-*` use `--concurrency=1` to avoid
conflicts that could arise over network ports. The `ci:full` and `qa:full`
scripts use `--concurrency=1` in all scopes, for two reasons: resource
limitations on Travis and AppVeyor result in slower runs with concurrency >1,
and if something fails in those contexts it's easier to see what went wrong
when Lerna's output isn't interleaved from a bunch of scripts in `packages/*`.
Bump the Lerna version.

Relative `"include"` path/s in a `tsconfig.json` are relative to the directory
in which the config is located, so each monorepo package that uses typescript
needs its own `tsconfig.json` that `"extends"` the root config.
For now, disable the `"typecheck"` script in embark-graph and embark-vyper, but
leave the relevant pieces in place (devDeps, configs) so that when they're
converted to TypeScript the scripts can simply be re-enabled. The problem is
that if no `.ts` files are present in the path/s specified in `"include"` of
`tsconfig.json`, tsc will exit with error.
