Make yarn sane

[mauricioszabo]

Basically, remove telemetry (I still don't believe everything phones home these days!) and ignore engines because some packages try to be smart and say heeey, I only work on newer nodes, even though there's nothing that prevents this to run on Node 14 like marked for example

No opposition at all but I can't seem to find either of these in the yarn v1 docs (we are using v1 right? Hence the .yarnrc?). Do these actually do stuff in v1?

@Daeraxa honestly? Me neither. The documentation mentions yarnsomething.yaml but I could not make it work, so what I did was - I made the config changes with yarn config, found that they changed the global .yarnrc, moved this .yarnrc to pulsar's repo, tested again, and it worked, so.... 🤷‍♂️

These changes look good, while it's always lame to use undocumented, nonstandard features, I was able to locate the usage of enableTelemetry within the source code but couldn't seem to find any reference for a declaration of ignore-engines but if you've tested and it works, I'll accept I just can't find it. But absolutely a fan of this, telemetry for obvious reasons, but also all the engines warnings in logs is just unnecessary visual clutter I'll be more than happy to get rid of.

.yarnrc.yaml is the new structure for yarn v2 config but we are using yarn v1 (I think??). I had a very quick go at seeing how easy it was to migrate to v2 a while ago but got lost.
