[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/4] bitbake: fetch2/npm: fix npw view parsing

[Jean-Marie LEMETAYER]

Fixes [YOCTO #13344]

When parsing manually the 'npm view --json' ouput, an extra closing
brackets in a JSON string can leads the fetcher to fail with a
JSONDecodeError exception.

This commit use the JSON parser to extract:
 - The last object in the returned array if there are multiple results.
 - The returned object if there is only one result.
