------------------------------+------------------------------
 This change adds a npm script to the `preinstall` task of `npm install` to
 check that the required npm and Node.js versions are installed and being
 used in the current terminal shell instance. If the Node.js version is not
 `8.9.3` or npm version is not greater than `6.1.0` a warning will be
 displayed notifying the user to update the respective build tooling.

 The attached patch depends on #44245 being committed first
