Apply .prettierrc.json at top level for DX purposes

Problem/Motivation

The core/.eslintrc.json is extended into a top-level .eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": "./core/.eslintrc.json"
}

However, core/.prettierrc.json is used by eslint-plugin-prettier and is not extended to the top-level. This is could be confusing for developers, as the eslint configuration will run prettier without configuring it, and bogus code formatting errors will be reported.

Steps to reproduce

In a development sandbox, run yarn install from the core directory, and then run ../../../core/node_modules/.bin/eslint --resolve-plugins-relative-to=../../../core . from a contrib module directory. The unconfigured prettier plugin will incorrectly report that e.g. double quotes in .yml files should be changed to single quotes: error Replace `''` with `""` prettier/prettier

Proposed resolution

We could either symlink core/.prettierrc.json at the top level (approach used by my initial patch), or add prettier config to the .eslintrc.json, but the latter is not recommended since an editor extension will not read .eslintrc.json, as per https://github.com/prettier/eslint-plugin-prettier#options
