/**
 * Helper function to run `npm-check-updates` to update the dependencies in the "package.json" file.
 * If there are any updates, the package manager used in the project will be automatically invoked.
 *
 * If specific versions need to be kept back, they should be placed in a "package-metadata.json"
 * next to the respective "package.json" file like this:
 *
 * ```json
 * {
 *   "dependencies": {
 *     "react": {
 *       "lock-version": true,
 *       "reason": "Docusaurus does not support the latest version of React."
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @param filePathOrDirPath Either the path to a "package.json" file or the path to a directory
 *                          which contains a "package.json" file. If undefined is passed, the
 *                          current working directory will be used.
 * @param installAfterUpdate Optional. Whether to install the new dependencies afterward, if any.
 *                           Default is true.
 * @param quiet Optional. Whether to suppress console output. Default is false.
 * @param packagesWithoutCooldown Optional. Package names that should be updated without applying
 *                                the dependency cooldown.
 * @returns Whether the "package.json" file was updated.
