feat(gatsby-plugin-checker): add more filters to filter out bad packages

[reese]

Description

Updating the gatsby-plugin-checker. It now filters out packages that lack a repository, have bad repo links, incorrect name formats, or lack READMEs. It also created a README in the folder to explain functionality and future features (such as automated notifications).

This PR stems from issue #5211 . Note that the script still doesn't automatically create issues yet. As mentioned after PR #7062, this requires a Github API key, so the best solution would likely be to put the key in an ENV variable and then run it locally. I'll leave this for a later PR.

Thanks for working on this one! I added a few comments.

Hi @reese 👋
Do you have time to address Ward's comments? Would be awesome! Thanks 😊

[reese]

Yes, I'll get back to these once I get a chance! Sorry for the delay, hopefully will get to it in the next few days.

@reese I'm so sorry to let you do all this work but I think it was all for nothing. Initially I thought we were using this on www but we're not using this package anywhere. We use gatsby-source-npm-package-search.

Maybe you're using it and have a use case you want to share?

@wardpeet This was a script that was requested in Issue #5211. The goal initially was to have this script available for manual usage. The idea is that since not all repos mention the gatsby-plugin keyword in their package.json, this script would be a way to collect those repos so that people could reach out to the maintainers and have them add the keyword if they wanted to appear on the Gatsby site. Eventually this would all be automated. That said, this issue might be stale by now, the original issue was closed so there may not be a need for it any more.

thanks @reese I was just going to circle back to you. I talked with @pieh and he said the same thing as you mentioned here in the comment so forgive me 😉. I'm testing it and let's merge this afterwards! 😄

[wardpeet]

Sorry for taking so long! This is amazing! Thanks so much for updating this script!
