[RRFC] npm update update denpendecy semver in package.json by default

[HomyeeKing]

Motivation ("The Why")

Example

foo: "^0.1.1"

foo@latest -> 0.1.3

exec npm update foo

foo: "^0.1.3"

How

Current Behaviour

we need to add --save option now which is verbose, also npm update not support update the devDependencies

Desired Behaviour

there're two solution:

• npm update, update both dependencies and devDependencies
• update denpendencies only and -D or --save-dev update devDependencies

by the way, the above has already implemented by npm install, so we can also update dependencies by npm installl
