.npmrc file not included zip file sent to LambdaTest

We are running into an issue installing a npm package from a private npm repository.

npm dependencies installation failed for the test

npm install from package.json failed, due to : npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

I noticed in the project.zip file that gets uploaded to LambdaTest does not include the .npmrc file I have in the project directory. With some local testing adding the config option for dot files to the glob options includes the .npmrc file in the project.zip and the dependencies get installed correctly.

archive.js:

archive.glob('**/*', { cwd: process.cwd(), ignore: ignore_files, dot: true }, { prefix: "project/" })

This change would add basic support for private npm repos that are accessible on the internet.
