deps: upgrade npm to 2.9.1

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/npm/npm-2.9.1 into master

A relatively minor release for npm as we continue to work to improve npm's git integration:

  • 178a6ad #7202 When caching git dependencies, do so by the whole URL, including the branch name, so that if a single application depends on multiple branches from the same repository (in practice, multiple version tags), every install is of the correct version, instead of reusing whichever branch the caching process happened to check out first. (@iarna)
  • 63b79cc #8084 Ensure that Bitbucket, GitHub, and Gitlab dependencies are installed the same way as non-hosted git dependencies, fixing npm install --link. (@laiso)

Lots of small documentation tweaks and dependency upgrades, as detailed in the full release notes.
