Build fails on WSL 2 Ubuntu 20.04 - primarily node-pty

Not particularly surprising, at the moment, but I thought I would document what's going on.

bcrypt is not at all happy at 0.3.1 on node 14 or node 16. Updating to ^0.5.1 in package.json remedies this, but I have not tested this possibly breaking change.

node-pty is breaking npm install for me on any of node 12, 14, or 16 (all lts). Upgrading to the latest (0.9.1 -> 0.10.0) changes the output but does not solve. This problem could be specific to the fact that I am running Ubuntu on WSL 2. Simply cloning the latest version of node-pty also fails for me in this environment: issue report here.

This isn't a failure for angband-webclient but might be worth noting that there is a lot of mirror-gazing going on with node-pty. My next test is to just try and build on native Ubuntu on a docker instance. I suspect that node versions are going to still be tricky with some of the current dependencies--we'll see.

Builds fine in a Docker Dev container using node 16. Surely this is a WSL 2 issue--closing.
