Fixing 5.0.0 :)

🧐 Full Changelog: RSeidelsohn/license-checker-rseidelsohn@v5.0.0...v5.0.1

What's Changed

This is a bugfix release that addresses some regressions that happened with 5.0.0.

🐛 Bugs fixed:

• Updated the wrapper around @npmcli/arborist and @npmcli/package-json so that it behaves more consistently like the previous solution based on read-installed-packages. This (hopefully) ensures we have the same behavior as before 🤞

Housekeeping galore

🐛 Bugs fixed:

• Typing of init callback

🧹 Housekeeping:
