deps: upgrade to npm 2.14.11

[zkat]

Heya!

Here's a new LTS release. Check out the changelog: https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.14.11

The main thing to note is a hopefully welcome update to our licensing to clarify scope of both the open source side and the registry TOS.

For some reason, I ran into the infamous Readme.md/README.md git-on-OSX issue again. I tried reproducing my previous steps and they didn't seem to work -- The extra commit you see is what I think the correct final fix for this. It seems that the Readme.md somehow still stuck around after we removed it from the npm repo proper. It should be completely gone now. 🙏

Any suggestions on how we should approach v0.12 now that we have that wheel (apparently) greased for movement again and it's jumped to 2.14.9. This PR won't be easily cherry-picked to that branch will it?

[zkat]

I'd like to say it'll be easy enough to cherry-pick -- I'll give it a shot myself in the morning and see if there's any issues . I also seem to have run into some test failures, so we should hold off on this PR for now, anyway. With all the messing around I was doing, I forgot to run the test suite before submitting this PR -- argh! :/

git cherry-pick --strategy=recursive -X theirs 26963fe4d6bb26ca8735845792b9358f13c90676

seemed to work well enough to me (this is assuming we want to ignore all conflicts and just accept all npm changes in this commit

edit: this was against 0.12.8-rc fwiw

Thanks, Myles! ^_^

Yep! That's why I was asking you about prereleases. You'll need to edit src/node_version.h and make it #define NODE_VERSION_IS_RELEASE 1. I just tested after doing this and everything passes now. :)

That's because semver considers prereleases to not exist in ranges, so all the engine checks, including*, will fail, since we're getting 4.2.3-pre.

See #4033 -- I think this PR is safe to close.
