This PR adds minimal documentation of the
link:
dependency type. The corresponding RFC is 0000-link-dependency-type which has been merged in this PR: yarnpkg/rfcs#34. The original implementation has been merged to yarn two years ago: yarnpkg/yarn#3359.The comment by @Haroenv on #793 suggested to put the documentation to https://github.com/yarnpkg/website/blob/master/lang/en/docs/package-json.md, but since there's no existing documentation of other dependency types like
