Package management: use ligo.json instead of package.json or esy.json

Users often work with JS toolchain alongside ours. Using package.json to manage both is tricky. It's better to have a separate manfiest to manage ligo dependencies.
Description
This MR let's users use a separate ligo.json
maninfest to manage packages.
