monorepo support

[Janpot]

I'd like to reopen #746
We're more than a year and a half later and monorepo structure becomes more and more prevalent. The issue can be easily worked around by ignoring **/node_modules/**. But I think it should be the standard behavior.

[LinusU]

Ignoring **/node_modules/ out of the box seems fine by me 👍

[rstacruz]

I second this, seems like a reasonable thing to do.

For background: the problem stems from a repo structure like so:

/
  packages/
    a/
      node_modules/
    b/
      node_modules/
    c/
      node_modules/

Running standard in the top-level can cause unnecessary traversions down into node_modules/. There's a workaround ☝️, but I agree it makes sense to be default behavior.

[LinusU]

Pull request very welcome 🙌

[Janpot]

Is this default provided by eslint? Maybe it should be a default in eslint?

[brodybits]

I would personally favor consistency with eslint, assuming there is no good reason otherwise.

[Janpot]

Yes, that makes sense. I've been digging through their tickets and found this PR eslint/eslint#10092
Not sure whether they're not open to expand the default, or whether it was just easier to document than fix

This issue should be fixed in standard v16 because of an improvement to standard-engine.

It would be great if someone could test this on your project to confirm, once standard 16 is released.

UPDATE: just tested it and it works!
