Feature request: postinstall script forces package to become unplugged with yarn pnp

Feature description

Hi,

because of postinstall script when using yarn with pnp mode it unnecessarily unplugs package extracting all the icons from an archive. For most packages that is not a big overhead, but with FA we have thousands of files per package that are extracted.

Since this postinstall script only prints licence and copyright can you consider removing it from all packages? There is possible workaround that helps but IMHO worth to consider fixing underlying issue:

  "dependenciesMeta": {
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-common-types": {
      "built": false
    },
    "@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons": {
      "built": false
    },
    ...
  }

Just noticed there is already existing issue #18803 with much better description.

However it's been open for a while and not fixed yet so I thought I'll open PR #19578

Please let me know if I should rebase it against master branch.
