lsif-node: high error rate in auto index due to npm/node version mismatch

Created by: Strum355

Errors seen on sourcegraph/sourcegraph due to later npm versions replacing link with file:

npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:client/packages/sourcegraph-extension-api

grafana/grafana due to change in how peer dependencies are resolved:

Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react@"^16.8.0" from @torkelo/[email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/@torkelo/react-select
npm ERR!   @torkelo/react-select@"3.0.8" from the root project
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Fix the upstream dependency conflict, or retry
npm ERR! this command with --force, or --legacy-peer-deps
npm ERR! to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

Need to be able to infer the right node/npm versions
