deprecated chromium-edge-launcher version

[Lionhunt3r]

Description

In the package @react-native/dev-middleware you are using "chromium-edge-launcher": "^0.2.0" as a dependency.

This version of chromium-edge-launcher uses a deprecated version of rimraf as you can see in this screenshot:

In the newer version 0.3 the rimraf dependency is removed. Can you upgrade the chromium-edge-launcher package so that we do not get the deprecated warning for rimraf?

Steps to reproduce

1. create a clean repository with npm init
2. Do "npm install react-native"
   --> You get this result:

React Native Version

0.80.1
