Add support for passing additional arguments to package installation methods

[Copilot]

This PR adds support for passing additional flags to npm, yarn, and pnpm package installation commands, addressing the need to use flags like --legacy-peer-deps for legacy packages mentioned in AspiriFridays episode 4.

Changes Made

API Updates

• WithNpmPackageInstallation: Added optional string[]? args parameter to pass additional flags to npm commands
• WithYarnPackageInstallation: Added optional string[]? args parameter for yarn flags
• WithPnpmPackageInstallation: Added optional string[]? args parameter for pnpm flags

Usage Examples

// npm with legacy peer deps support for older packages
builder.AddNpmApp("legacy-app", "./legacy-app")
    .WithNpmPackageInstallation(useCI: false, args: ["--legacy-peer-deps"]);

// yarn with frozen lockfile for reproducible builds
builder.AddYarnApp("yarn-app", "./yarn-app")  
    .WithYarnPackageInstallation(args: ["--frozen-lockfile", "--verbose"]);

// pnpm with custom flags
builder.AddPnpmApp("pnpm-app", "./pnpm-app")
    .WithPnpmPackageInstallation(args: ["--frozen-lockfile"]);

Key Features

• Backward Compatible: All existing code continues to work unchanged
• Flexible: Supports any additional flags for npm, yarn, and pnpm
• Consistent: Same pattern applied across all three package managers
• Well Tested: Comprehensive tests verify proper argument handling and ordering

Testing

Added comprehensive tests that verify:

• Arguments are properly combined with base commands (install/ci)
• Multiple arguments are handled correctly
• Existing functionality remains unchanged when no args are provided

Documentation

• Updated README with usage examples
• Updated API surface documentation
• Added example in the sample application

This solves the specific use case mentioned in AspiriFridays where users needed to pass --legacy flags to npm for legacy package compatibility.

Fixes #738.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list

This implementation really should have exposed the npm resource to the caller so they can do WithArgs. It's fine to have shortcuts but there's another cliff here that we should avoid.

[aaronpowell]

I guess we could expose that in a callback
