This enables support for package managers other than `yarn`, with `npm` being the default; to continue using Yarn,
specify it in `package.json` using the [`packageManager`](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packagemanager) property.

This also removed `@node_modules_bin_path`, `SHAKAPACKER_NODE_MODULES_BIN_PATH`, and support for installing `Shakapacker`'s javascript package in a separate directory from the Gemfile containing `Shakapacker`'s ruby gem.

@G-Rath @tomdracz this seems like a bug. Why was this removed? Could this be added back?

I agree that this is useful to highlight but wouldn't backtrack here.

Clarify the impact of the removed features in the changelog.

The changelog entry on lines 48-49 mentions the removal of @node_modules_bin_path, SHAKAPACKER_NODE_MODULES_BIN_PATH, and the support for installing Shakapacker's JavaScript package in a separate directory. However, it would be beneficial for users if the entry also briefly explained the reason for these removals and their potential impact on existing setups. This would align with the PR's objective to clarify significant changes and help prevent confusion.
