Local NPM packages are not part of build for Node 14 runtime target

[codyhazelwood]

Description:

When running sam build, local npm packages are not part of the build.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a local npm package somewhere outside of the code uri folder
• Inside your code uri folder, run npm i ../../path to my local shared npm package
• Run sam build

Observed result:

The local npm package is not installed

Expected result:

The local npm package to be installed.

I'm guessing this is due to sam building inside a docker container? Is there a way to tell sam to pull in these external files? I also tried symlinking the local module into the code uri folder, but that didn't work either.

Additional environment details (Ex: Windows, Mac, Amazon Linux etc)

1. OS: macOS 10.15
2. If using SAM CLI, sam --version: 1.18.0
3. AWS region: haven't deployed, yet

Add --debug flag to any SAM CLI commands you are running

We have an ongoing PR to package local NPM dependencies that should help:
#215
I will see if I can make it move forward again.

This PR looks like it will solve my issue. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!
