Add Hardhat plugin

[ItsNickBarry]

Hardhat is a CLI tool that relies on the presence of a JS config file. The hardhat package may or may not be imported.

This plugin is meant to do two things:

1. Add hardhat.config.x as an entry.
2. Skip warnings if hardhat is not imported anywhere.

Is the implementation correct? I'm not sure about the resolve function.

Thanks for the plugin! LGTM, but I do have a remark or two.

Looks like it's typically used as dev dep? Seeing --save-dev in their docs.

[ItsNickBarry]

Yes

[ItsNickBarry]

Changed. Does that make a difference for production mode?

[webpro]

Indeed. In general just better to have the fixtures as close to reality as possible.

The hardhat package may or may not be imported.

I understand the reasoning here, but if it's indeed not imported anywhere, then perhaps it's used in some other way? E.g. in package.json#scripts or somewhere else?

[ItsNickBarry]

Some people add scripts, but there's also a hardhat-shorthand package which is installed globally and adds an hh shortcut to replace npx hardhat, yarn run hardhat, etc. It parses the Hardhat config and supports tab completion for builtin and user-defined commands, making it categorically different from scripts.

[ItsNickBarry]

Note that the global hh bin still requires that hardhat be installed locally.

Thanks, bit of a bummer but let's roll with it :)
