Publishing flow-typed definitions to npm

[Brianzchen]

In the past there has been many discussions in regards to shift definitions to be installed via npm instead of a dedicated flow-typed cli.

Although the idea is a possibility it requires a complete overhaul of the CLI and re-architecture of how we manage definitions. There's no clarity still on how to manage library definitions that span across multiple flow versions as explained.

We've since created the ability for definitions to depend on one another which was one of the driving forces behind distributing through npm.

tldr;

This serves as the mega thread for anyone who still wants to shift definition distribution through npm over a custom CLI and would like to discuss their ideas with the community as opposed to several issues which are hard for newcomers to find.
