yarn install and laravel mix called more times than needed during gitpod initialization

[apolopena]

Describe the bug

There are extranoues yarn installs and laravel mix compiles happening when more than one optional install from starter.ini is set.

Screenshots

Steps to reproduce

set phpmyadmin and react to install, there will be three total calls to yarn install and laravel mix.

Expected behavior

yarn install and laravel mix could be called alot less. once if there are not optiona installs and twice if there are multiple optional installs. maybe even just once for all of it.

Additional information

An API for getting installation information from starter.ini should be built into bash/helpers.sh and used for this feature.
has_installs: echos 1 if anything is installed, echos 0 if otherwise
has_only_phpmyadmin_install: echos 1 if only phpmyadmin is installed but no frontend scaffolding is installed, echos 0 if otherwise
has_only_frontend_scaffolding_install: echos 1 if no phpmyadmin is installed and at least 1 frontend scaffolding is installed.

[apolopena]

An API for getting installation information from starter.ini should has been built and added to the codebase however it is not in use and may be removed at a later time. This bug is curretly closed as 'wont-fix' because this featured turned out not to be feasible. Possibly saving a single called to npm install was not worth the future testing, bugs introduced and code convolution a fix like this would create.
