We were falling back to the "best guess" behavior for the forge.config.js scenario, we can do better than best guess and infer a forge project based on a forge dependency

Removing `config.forge` from `package.json` made it give an error:
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: packageJSON.main must be set to a valid entry point for your Electron app
The error did not say what `package.json` file it was looking it, but
the issue was that it was finding the wrong `package.json` due to
guessing logic in `resolve-dir.ts` that only looked for the
`config.forge` keys in `package.json` when determining what
`package.json` to use, ignoring `forge.config.js`, and defaulting to
the outermost `package.json`, not the innermost one.
Update Electron Forge to v6.0.0-beta.71 which includes a change
which remedies the problem: electron/forge#3023
Now Electron Forge checks also for a dependency on `@electron-forge/cli`
and so finds the correct `package.json` again.
Now Electron Forge can actually use `forge.config.js`, and this fixes
the executable name, the icons in some cases, and other metadata,
as well as the `@electron-forge/publisher-github` plugin, presumably.
