Allow codegen users to override the resolved NPM package versions

[syall]

Overview

NPM package versions are currently resolved from dependencyVersions.properties and sdkVersions.properties.

At any given codegen .jar artifact, these versions are snapshotted and cannot be overridden. When using public JSv3 clients and customer codegen'ed clients in the same project, incorrect resolution of shared underlying NPM dependencies can lead to buggy code. Although this is not a complete solution, it could help since customers could codegen corresponding JSv3-compatible clients.

Solution

Provide a way for codegen users to override the resolved NPM package versions.
