`update-notifier` has 88 dependencies #211

I wasn't expecting to see so many dependencies in for update-notifier: https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=update-notifier

Can they be reduced somehow? boxen, latest-version, and configstore seem to be the biggest offenders

I'm sure some dependencies could be reduced, but I don't think you'll be able to massively reduce it while still handling all the edge-cases and the current functionality and look.

It's probably easier to propose specific actions, since just "reduce dependencies" is not very actionable.
