Many deprecation warnings during install caused by node-gyp dependency

[crystalfp]

• Electron-Builder Version: 25.1.8

• Node Version: 22.5.1

• Electron Version: 33.2.1
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: Windows

During electron-builder installation many deprecation warnings appear:

npm warn deprecated @npmcli/[email protected]: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This package is no longer supported.
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This package is no longer supported.

Seems that these warnings are generated by the use of a not up-to-date version of node-gyp. Could this dependency be updated?

I think those are coming from @electron/node-gyp package that is the official package for building native node modules, I don't think there's anything I can do from the electron-builder side

That being said, I only checked a few of them though.
