postinstall breaks npm upgrade

[jonatan-ivanov]

The postinstall script breaks npm upgrade -g, here is the related line of the output of the cmd:
npm ERR! Invalid package name ".hooks": name cannot start with a period

Indeed, there is a .hooks folder: ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs/15.14.0/.npm/lib/node_modules/.hooks/postinstall (re)moving it fixes the issue.

Full Output

 ❯ npm upgrade -g

This is a regression introduced in npm@7, the workaround for now is to remove the .hooks folder and to run asdf reshim nodejs manually after every global install. In the meantime I will research a way of asdf-nodejs to not rely in .hooks

Related to #227

This issue should be fixed in master now. I actively removed the lines of code that were creating the .hooks directory. If the problem persists, please comment below so that I open the thread again
