Hotfixes for the 1.22.20

[arcanis]

Fixes #8793
Fixes #8965
Fixes #9005

• Punycode is now embed within the bundle, as it has been deprecated by Node.js and will be removed in a future version.

• A message will be displayed when Yarn 1.22 notices that the local project has a package.json file referencing a non-1.x Yarn release. The message will explain that the project is intended to be used with Corepack.

• I removed the yarn-error.log generation. Given that we don't process non-critical 1.x bug reports, they are now mostly an annoyance.

• The yarn set version x.y.z command will now install the exact x.y.z version (prior to this change it used to first install the latest version, and only in a second step would it downgrade to x.y.z; this was causing issues when we bump the minimal Node.js version we support, as running yarn set version 3.6.4 wouldn't work on Node 16).

• Prevents crashes when reading from an empty .yarnrc.yml file.

@arcanis Hello it seems like latest version of yarn brings regression, it cannot find nearest package.json file. So having package.json in root of the project and trying to run yarn in any subfolder will raise error like this

Error: Couldn't find a package.json file in 

Downgrade to v1.20.19 resolves this issue.

Can you give me a reproduction? According to your post the following should crash, but doesn't for me:

cd $(mktemp -d) && yarn init -y && yarn install && mkdir foo && cd foo && yarn install

Sorry for bothering.

#7939
It would be great if this could be fixed as well, this issue causes yarn1 to be completely unavailable on some Windows users.
