Deprecated modules

[diracdeltas]

npm install shows various deprecated modules; we should try to update them

@diracdeltas What do you run to see the deprecated modules?

This is what I see with npm 8.11.0:
``
$ npm install

[email protected] preinstall
npx npm-force-resolutions

added 12 packages, removed 1 package, changed 1 package, and audited 832 packages in 10s

102 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details

found 0 vulnerabilities

To see the warnings, delete your node_modules directory first:

$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ npm install
...
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: The querystring API is considered Legacy. new code should use the URLSearchParams API instead.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

@fmarier that works,npm outdated will also show at least outdated packages. nowadays socket security will also report unmaintained packages on new PRs

Noting that request in particular is not able to fetch https://adblock.ee/list.php (from the Eesti saitidele kohandatud filter regional list). The builtin fetch API seems to be okay though, I'll try to migrate things towards that.
