Options to reduce collected data size to the minimum

[eric-helier]

Summary

Testing telemetry-js on a dozen real projects in Airbus, payloads of collected data are very big.

• npm scope : several hundred kb
• jsx scope : from 1 to 5 mb

We are thinking that it could be a useful option to limit the output to the bare minimum (as an option or by default depending on your opinions on this)

• npm scope
  • get the total number of npm dependencies as a metric
  • collect full data only for white listed npm dependencies
• jsx scope
  • maybe skip the npm attributes that we already get from the npm scope ?

If that's something possible we could be interested in collaborating to bring this options to life, as part of Airbus opensource contributions.
