Fixes Issue #5477
Description of Change
Fix-up location determination of the base folder for package.json so that when multiple versions of a package are in the node_modules tree the versions that differ from the version in the root get associated with the appropriate version (which is in the private node_modules folder of their parent)
Have test cases been added to cover the new functionality?
no, locally tested with npm v6, v8 and v9 (package-lock versions 1, 2 and 3) using the reference package.json of the issue in a gradle project.
