Allow to customize package managers when installing dependencies #620

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many dependencies are external (out of vim / neovim) and require related package managers like npm, pip etc...

Usually we have many package managers (PM) for every ecosystem. Eg, for JavaScript we have npm, yarn, pnpm, bun ...
Moreover we may have different runtimes. Eg for JS: node, bun, deno.

Problem: coders have different setup and we should be able to use the setup we use. If I use bun, I want to use bun when downloading JS dependencies.

Describe the solution you'd like

For every ecosystem, I want to be able to specify package manager mason should use. Specifically (for me), I would love to use bun instead of npm for installing JS dependencies.

Describe potential alternatives you've considered
