This PR implements --include-extraneous-dep for npm ls to output the complete dependency tree that includes the transitive dependencies brought in by extraneous packages; details in #576.

What / Why

Current npm ls truncates the dependencies from extraneous modules, which can provide useful information regarding software packaging hygiene. It would be great for npm ls to reveal everything it can find on disc.

Full story in #576

Just a little context for the labels. We’ve put a freeze on new feature work for npm@6* unless it’s a patch for security reasons. We’ll definitely look at this for npm@7 though!

Question: is there a timeline or road map regarding the release of npm 7?

@yalinhuang Closing as this should not be the case in npm v7. Thank you for your contribution though!
