Website: yarn or npm? that's the problem!

[inductor]

This is a Bug Report

As discussed in the SIG-Docs meeting, the current steps for building doc website in README is incomplete in the following point of views.

• It requires yarn on top of npm, but yarn.lock is missing and package-lock.json is there.
  
  
  
  • npm ci did not work for me but I need further investigation on it.
  
  
• The build step is going to be equal in containerized and local in https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/22515 , but yarn installation or npm ci is currently missing in make container-image.

Proposed Solution:

1. Use npm and remove yarn from the dependency
2. Run the npm command inside of the container

AIUI, the live website build (within Netlify) relies on npm, and does _not_ use Yarn.

@sftim Could you have a quick look if npm ci in local works just fine?
