[v8.x] deps: update npm to 5.4.2 by targos · Pull Request #15600 · nodejs/node

This includes three npm releases, one of which is pretty big (5.4.0).

Changes of Note

* Significant performance boost for installations from cache (~10%+)
* A number of bugfixes for important and severe bugs affecting
  installation on all supported platforms, but particularly noticeable
  on Windows.
* More Windows-related fixes for `npx`.
* [nodejs#17844](npm/npm#17844)
  Make package-lock.json sorting locale-agnostic. This will cause
  some users to see seemingly spurious diffs on their pkglocks if
  they were using previous versions of npm5, because, for example,
  `JSONStream` is sorted into a different location. This is fine and
  will go away as people upgrade.
