Provide CLI to modernize an existing Node.js project #28

Description

@matthewadams

It'd be cool to have a modern-node CLI to "modernize" (get it?) an existing Node.js project, where it only tackles configuration of formatting, linting, optionally Jest testing, and precommit hooks with lint-staged & husky, so that I could cd into whatever Node.js project I've got, Nuxt or not, and run npx modernize --auto or something (modernoze?) and it would add everything needed to setup formatting, linting, Jest testing (optionally), and precommit linting of staged files with lint-staged & husky.

The tool could autodetect the package manager in use and roll with that by default, and detect whether eslint is being used, because that happened for me as a result of npx nuxi init when I, for better or worse, selected to include module @nuxt/eslint. That yielded a package.json that looked like this:

{
  "name": "nuxt-app",
  "private": true,
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "dev": "nuxt dev",
    "generate": "nuxt generate",
    "preview": "nuxt preview",
    "postinstall": "nuxt prepare"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@nuxt/eslint": "^1.6.0",
    "eslint": "^9.31.0",
    "nuxt": "^4.0.1",
    "vue": "^3.5.17",
    "vue-router": "^4.5.1"
  }
}

Metathinking about it, this project could be the standard of Node.js project set up.
