Check package.json is root of package and not {type: 'module'}
With ESM modules, Node has introduced a 2nd use for package.json.
So now the presence of a package.json file does not necessarily indicate the root of a package. It could just contain {"type": "module"} to indicate that a subdirectory's files are to be treated as ESM modules.
Could pkg-dir check the contents of package.json files found, and ignore any which don't indicate package root? Perhaps checking for a name field would do the trick.
