Upgrade node engine to >=18 & @types/node to ^18.19.14

[heltoft]

The currently used node environment has reached end of life.
Updating to 18.x which is the version with Maintenance status for Node.js.

• Upgraded node engine to >= 18
• Upgraded @types/node to ^18.19.14

This change is a prerequisite to start solving some of the current GitLab issues, especially in regards to problems with inline comments which needs dependency updates.

I'm not onboard with forcing all users of danger to need node 18+ in order to get updates. I have no problem with making that the case for contributing to this repo though!

Hey @orta, do I understand you correctly that you are ok with updating if there is some contributions to go along with the update? If so, then I can assure you there is more changes coming 🚀

I have been working on getting inline comments to work on GitLab recently in my spare time.
Mainly focused around the following issues:
#1386
#1412
#1405

I have a version of danger-js running where these issues are solved that we have been using for a few weeks where I work, and it has been working well for us.

However it is quite a lot of changes so what I am trying to do is to split up the changes into smaller chunks 🙏

How would you suggest for me to proceed in this case?

[orta]

Sure, 1 PR is reasonable for that scope

Is the underlaying issue for the engines change that the gitbreaker update is going to force us to make our consumers update also?

[heltoft]

Alright sounds good. I have a few more tests to write, but I will create an MR with all the changes when I feel it is ready 🙂

Yes gitbeaker requires node 18 since it leverages native fetch under the hood in newer versions. The documentation for gitbeaker states that it is possible to make it work with a polyfill for node 16.18+, however I haven't been able to make that work so far, and it would also require to use the --ignore-engines flag.
And if we are already bumping node engine I personally think it makes more sense to go to 18 as that is the last maintained version.
