Yarn dependency from the NodeJS Snap causes conflict with package.json files.

Yarn dependency from the NodeJS Snap causes conflict with package.json files as the Yarn package.json is never removed.

The below snapcraft.yaml is an example of how we are able to get around this, currently. But, is this the best way to handle this situation? Or is there a "best practice" method that we are not following?
