 Build/Test Tools: Configure npm to `prefer-dedupe`.

 `npm dedupe` is a command that attempts to simplify the structure of the
 local package tree by moving dependencies higher up. This allows for more
 effective package sharing, less transfer, and smaller `node_modules`
 folders.

 This change configures npm to `prefer-dedupe` by default so that these
 benefits persist and the command is not required to be run regularly.

 This also brings better alignment with the Gutenberg repository, which has
 already configured `prefer-dedupe`.

 Props jonsurrell.
 Fixes #62190.
