Provide a way for supporting a central reused node_modules

[MerzDaniel]

There should be a possibility to share the node_modules between multiple packages in order to have a local package repository.

In my company we have about 200 npm based repositories. Some of us need to touch many of these from time to time. All the aggregated node_modules sum up to a huge disk space consumption. This disk space could be reduced by a factor of nearly 100x, as many packages use similar dependencies

A simple workaround in the past was to use local symlinks. But this possibility was removed due to a security issue

It would be nice to have this feature without having to migrate away of the standard NPM in direction of e.g. pnpm.
