Husky pre-commit hooks for tests

[OmkarPh]

Description

Having a pre-commit hook should be beneficial to avoid committing failing-test code

Similar to pre-commit in python,
We have husky for javascript projects - https://www.npmjs.com/package/husky

Configuration:
With the configuration in place, the pre-commit hooks are setup automatically on npm install and run on attempting a commit
No special action is required by the developers

For example:

@OmkarPh if I am not mistaken pre-commit hooks need to be enabled locally, right?

When we do npm install this prepare script is automatically run; It sets up required git config for the repository
https://github.com/nexB/scancode-workbench/blob/8688efd98cfb872daaf08adfb102d2dc806e0edb/package.json#L30

So, no special commands needed by contributors :)

The husky pre-commit increases the time to create commits, and usually we run only linters and other smaller/faster checks in pre-commits, and not the full test-suite? This time will increase when there are more comprehensive tests so this is something that should be considered.

Quoting this from prev discussion - #591 (review)

Considering time overhead (possibly increasing in future) before commit, we can consider not taking this up & close this issue ?
