Conversation
Add notes on npm version compatibility for methods to update node-gyp. Also mention that this is tested on npm 8, now that npm 8 exists. (Npm 8 is the same as npm 7 for purposes of these instructions.) Lastly, add a note that one of the methods is simpler/more durable, if only functional for npm 6 and older.
