@arcgis/create - package-lock.json in .gitignore

[NicolasGIS]

Hello,

Just tested @arcgis/create: thanks JS team, great initiative !

I was surprised though to find out that `package-lock.json` is in .gitignore by default.

According to npm, this file is meant to be commited:

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/configuring-npm/package-lock-json

```

This file is intended to be committed into source repositories, and serves various purposes

```

Obviously, you did it on purpose for a reason and I would curious to know why.

Thanks

Nice catch!

We developed the application templates part of the `@arcgis/create` CLI to be package manager-agnostic, which is why lock files are not included by us. Another reason is that Dependabot is enabled by default in https://github.com/Esri/jsapi-resources, and adding `package-lock.json` to `.gitignore` reduces noise. We still monitor things elsewhere outside the repository.

However, we can see how this would be an inconvenience. 

We'll update the `.gitignore` files now and report back once complete.

Thanks,
