Description
- [*] This feature can already be implemented through a plugin
Describe the user story
A lot of bug reports ask for versions of things,
Describe the solution you'd like
it would be awesome if you could do something like yarn info --with-bug-info prettier-plugin-java, and have it spit out the equivalent of this
> yarn info prettier-plugin-java # ppm -> 1-setup ! + ?
└─ prettier-plugin-java@npm:0.8.3

and possibly some other important things... like maybe all of the direct dependency versions resolved... or really I'm trying to think of a good way to list the typescript version . side feature, a way to list all of the direct dependencies installed and their versions, I haven't seemed to be able to find a way to do this...

Describe the drawbacks of your solution
obvious problems with the last thing might be how to report the OS info, though maybe node has an easy way to do this.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know I've seen a node module that more or less does this, but seems to me that yarn building in this functionality into core or as a plugin seems useful, especially since it should easily have access to all or most of this information.
