build: ensure dependencies are properly locked (#13482)

* Since we lock our dependencies in the `yarn.lock` file, we need to enforce that the lock file is in sync with the `package.json` file (similar as in angular/angular)
* Since we cache the dependenices & the yarn cache within Travis, it can happen that the node modules are stale (there is no checksum mechanism in Travis). In that case we need to purge the node modules and re-install.
