 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="50202"
 Build/Test Tools: Support NodeJS 14.x in the 4.9 branch.

 This updates the 4.9 branch to support the latest LTS version of NodeJS
 (currently 14.x), allowing the same version to be used across all
 WordPress branches that receive security updates as a courtesy.

 This also replaces the `npm-shrinkwrap.json` with a `package-lock.json`
 file. Lock files were not supported in earlier versions of NPM, but can
 now be used.

 In addition to backporting the package updates that happened after
 branching 4.9, dependencies that were removed in future releases have also
 been updated to their latest versions.
