Resolves #761
With this change, optional dependencies are no longer ignored, and instead are written to the package manager's (npm/pnpm/yarn) respective lockfile. This allows optional dependencies such as fsevents to be installed on supported systems (e.g. macOS), but remain uninstalled on unsupported systems (e.g. Windows).
