ChangeLog
commit ecc8c6c97f5da8ed209348be972b8282de53429a

dev-util/appium: new package, add 3.7.0
Taken from the npm tarball, which ships built JavaScript; the git tag is
TypeScript and building it means a lerna build across the whole monorepo.
Nothing needed patching to make a read-only installation work. Drivers and
plugins are installed into APPIUM_HOME, which defaults to ~/.appium, recorded
in a manifest there, and loaded from there; adjustNodePath points NODE_PATH at
the directory holding the appium package so a driver resolves Appium's own
dependencies out of this installation. Verified against the built image: a
driver installs and is recorded in the user's own directory, and nothing is
written inside the installation.
npm is an RDEPEND rather than a build dependency because the extension
installer shells out to it at run time.
NODEJS_KEEP_DEV_FILES is set because nodejs_remove_dev treats yaml's dist/doc
as documentation, when it is the module's runtime code.
Prebuilt binaries for platforms other than this one are dropped; they are dead
weight and QA reports unresolved sonames for them.
