Previously, `ng-packages-installer` would replace the version ranges for
all dependencies that were peer dependencies of an Angular package with
the version range used in the Angular package. This effectively meant
that the pinned version (from `yarn.lock`) for that dependency was
ignored (even if the pinned version satisfied the new version range).
This commit reduces non-determinism in CI jobs using the locally built
Angular packages by always using pinned versions of dependencies for
Angular package peer dependencies if possible.
For example, assuming the following versions for the RxJS dependency:
- **aio/package.json**: `rxjs: ^6.3.0`
- **aio/yarn.lock**: `rxjs@^6.3.0: 6.3.3`
- **@angular/core#peerDependencies**: `rxjs: ^6.0.0`
...the following versions would be used with `ng-packages-installer`:
- Before this commit:
- **aio/package.json**: `rxjs: ^6.0.0`
- **node_modules/rxjs/**: `6.4.0` (latest version satisfying `^6.0.0`)
- After this commit:
- **aio/package.json**: `rxjs: ^6.3.0`
- **node_modules/rxjs/**: `6.3.3` (because it satisfies `^6.0.0`)

`ng-packages-installer` can be used to replace Angular packages with
locally built ones (from `dist/packages-dist/`) along with their peer
dependencies.
Previously, in order to achieve this, `yarn install` was called with the
`--no-lockfile` option, which resulted in installing the latest versions
of all dependencies (including transitive ones) permitted by the
corresponding version ranges in `package.json` files. As a result, newly
released versions would be picked, resulting in unexpected,
non-deterministic breakages in CI.
This commit calls `yarn install` with the `--pure-lockfile` option
instead. As a result, only the Angular packages (for which the locally
built ones are used) and their peer dependencies are unpinned; the
pinned versions from `yarn.lock` are used for all other (direct and
transitive) dependencies.
While this does not eliminate non-determinism across builds, it
significantly reduces it.
