**Description:**
This is more of a feature request, so apologies if this doesn't belong here. Many versions ago NPM introduced adding metadata into `package.json` when building a project. As far as I can tell it was done as an extension point that future version could use, see [1] for more details. The problem is that one of the added pieces of metadata is the absolute location of where the project was built, which in itself isn't great but coupled with the fact that SAM uses a directory hash for tracking changes and that AWS CodeBuild uses ephemeral build directories means that files will always appear to have changed even when the only thing that's changed is the location of the build directory. While it doesn't look like NPM will fix the issue any time soon my hope was that the Node lambda builder can run a command after build to remove the metadata. As the metadata isn't used by NPM this is currently completely safe. In fact my current workaround uses [2] to remove the metadata after running `sam build`. I am happy to submit a PR if it's deemed appropriate, although it might take some time due to work commitments.

**Steps to reproduce the issue:**
1. Run `sam build` on an NPM project with external dependencies
2. In the `build` directory, in `node_modules`, look at a `package.json`
**Observed result:**
You will see properties such as `"_where": "/Users/jshore/Documents/Projects/weewikipaint",` containing the absolute path of build directory.
**Expected result:**
A build should be idempotent and not dependent on build location.
**Additional environment details (Ex: Windows, Mac, Amazon Linux etc)**
Reproducible on both Mac and Amazon Linux
Beitragsleitfaden
Rechercherichtung
Beginne mit dem Node.js-Lambda-Builder-Pfad, der von `sam build` verwendet wird, und reproduziere dann das Problem mit einem NPM-Projekt, das externe Abhängigkeiten hat. Untersuche `package.json`-Dateien unter `build/node_modules` auf `_where` und zugehörige Metadaten mit absoluten Pfaden; als abgeschlossen gilt die Untersuchung, wenn wiederholte Builds aus verschiedenen Verzeichnissen ein ortsunabhängiges Ergebnis erzeugen.
