Fixes #20511 - Webpack config should look for nested deps
The current value of resolve.modules in config/webpack.config.js is "path.join....'node_modules'"". This value doesn't work when dependencies have been installed using global style (npm install --global-style true).
In this style, which is what foreman-packaging uses, dependencies of dependencies get nested like:
node_modules/dependencyA/node_modules/dependencyB
in a tree like structure. foreman-packaging needs to install in this mode because the npm cache is stored like a tree.
The solution I've been given in #webpack is to use a string 'node_modules' instead of path.join. The reason is that webpack purposefully looks for nested dependencies in that case, but not if you provide the full path.
