Automatically update Satellite dependency versions

What would you like to be added:
Find a way to automatically update Satellite dependency versions

Why would you like this to be added:
Following the conversations through #2934 , we have to manually get the Satellite updates.
Let's see if we have a way to automate this before Satellite is moved into Telescope in #2677

Talking with @joelazwar on Slack today, one thing that does work is:

pnpm update -r --latest @senecacdot/satellite

This will rewrite all the package.json files throughout the monorepo, and also update the lock file.

been googling for a workaround with no luck, i guess this is our best option so far. We could document this step in the Satellite Shipping guide docs TBD. Want to wait for @rclee91 before we run that command and push, she might have more knowledge on this topic

[RC-Lee]

No, I don't know this command at all, I wish I did.
Since we're manually doing it anyways, might as well do it how it manually works for us.

[RC-Lee]

I'm guessing from this line that we get sometimes after running pnpm install

Lockfile is up-to-date, resolution step is skipped

The lockfile will only update with pnpm install if something is changed in the various package.json

[humphd]

Correct, which is why pnpm update ... makes it happen, since it updates the package.json files.
