[FEATURE] Top-level requires property in package-lock.json not describe on website

[thernstig]

What / Why

The package-lock.json file contains a property called requires:

{
  "name": "foo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "lockfileVersion": 3,
  "requires": true, // <--- this one
  "packages": {

It existed in all versions of lockfileVersion (1, 2 and 3). Notice that I am now using version 3.

I do not know what its purpose is. Nor if it is a bug or not to exist in lockfileVersion: 3. But even so, it is not documented at https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-lock-json.

As a top-level property, it would be nice to describe it at https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-lock-json (for all versions that you can select in the dropdown).
