Summary
Slightly rejig api spec tools to prevent errors during the core-api-js pre-commit hook.
Previously the kolbiri package package.json was loaded in module scope, which caused weird interactions while running the build_kolibri_package script, which would rewrite the package.json file.
References
No issue - just observed in multiple pre-commit runs on Github Actions and locally.
Reviewer guidance
I confirmed this fixed a persistent and recurrent instance of this when running in #13981
The best way to check this works is to make a change within the kolibri NPM package and then try to commit it - then confirm that the hook runs without errors.
