Nativefier: Update dependencies (starting with Electron)

[shnbhg]

Absolutely love Nativefier @jiahaog, but the dependencies seem to be outdated, is it going to be upgraded anytime soon?
Thanks in advance.

Do you know that you can choose the Electron version to use?

nativefier --name Messenger --electron-version 1.6.2 https://messenger.com

EDIT from maintainer: 👍👍👍, be sure to check the electron/releases page to find your choice of the latest stable/beta electron.

"is it going to be upgraded anytime soon?"

@ambonium the original maintainer (Jia), as well as two new maintainers including me, are trying to get the train running again. Jia produced a new release 7.1.0 incorporating unmerged PRs, and releasing a new version with updated dependencies is high on our list up next. Hang on, and use @maxdec's suggestion to pick your Electron until then :) . Cheers!

I bumped many of the dependencies in my local version. No major issues so far.

@danimalweb AWESOME 👍 😍 💯, and thanks for the fast feedback. I'm currently starting helping maintenance with a big issue triage and haven't look at deps yet. If you have the time for that, a PR would be super awesome! If you're going ahead with this, maybe by the way incorporate the deps deletions proposed at https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/pull/337 !
