robobun d9742eece7 Optimize --lockfile-only to skip tarball downloads (#21768)
## Summary

Optimizes the `--lockfile-only` flag to skip downloading **npm package
tarballs** since they're not needed for lockfile generation. This saves
bandwidth and improves performance for lockfile-only operations while
preserving accuracy for non-npm dependencies.

## Changes

- **Add `prefetch_resolved_tarballs` flag** to
`PackageManagerOptions.Do` struct (defaults to `true`)
- **Set flag to `false`** when `--lockfile-only` is used
- **Skip tarball downloads for npm packages only** when flag is
disabled:
- `getOrPutResolvedPackageWithFindResult` - Main npm package resolution
(uses `Task.Id.forNPMPackage`)
- `enqueuePackageForDownload` - NPM package downloads (uses
`bun.Semver.Version`)
- **Preserve tarball downloads for non-npm dependencies** to maintain
lockfile accuracy:
  - Remote tarball URLs (needed for lockfile generation)
  - GitHub dependencies (needed for lockfile generation)  
  - Generic tarball downloads (may be remote)
  - Patch-related downloads (needed for patch application)
- **Add comprehensive test** that verifies only package manifests are
fetched for npm packages with `--lockfile-only`

## Rationale

Only npm registry packages can safely skip tarball downloads during
lockfile generation because:

 **NPM packages**: Metadata is available from registry manifests,
tarball not needed for lockfile
 **Remote URLs**: Need tarball content to determine package metadata
and generate accurate lockfile
 **GitHub deps**: Need tarball content to extract package.json and
determine dependencies
 **Tarball URIs**: Need content to determine package structure and
dependencies

This selective approach maximizes bandwidth savings while ensuring
lockfile accuracy.

## Test Plan

-  New test in `test/cli/install/lockfile-only.test.ts` verifies only
npm manifest URLs are requested
-  Uses absolute package versions to ensure the npm resolution code
path is hit
-  Test output normalized to work with both debug and non-debug builds
-  All existing install/update tests still pass (including remote
dependency tests)

## Performance Impact

For `--lockfile-only` operations with npm packages, this eliminates
unnecessary tarball downloads, reducing:
- **Network bandwidth usage** (manifests only, not tarballs)
- **Installation time** (no tarball extraction/processing)
- **Cache storage requirements** (tarballs not cached)

The optimization only affects npm packages in `--lockfile-only` mode and
has zero impact on:
- Regular installs (npm packages still download tarballs)
- Remote dependencies (always download tarballs for accuracy)
- GitHub dependencies (always download tarballs for accuracy)

## Files Changed

- `src/install/PackageManager/PackageManagerOptions.zig` - Add flag and
configure for lockfile-only
- `src/install/PackageManager/PackageManagerEnqueue.zig` - Skip npm
tarball generation selectively
- `test/cli/install/lockfile-only.test.ts` - Test with dummy registry
