[duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin] Support node 16+

[peitschie]

Bug Report

Use of this package with modern versions of node shows a warning:

npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '@cerner/duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin@2.5.0',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '10 || 12 || 14', npm: '6 || 9' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v18.17.1', npm: '9.6.7' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

This issue was originally reported and fixed in https://github.com/cerner/terra-toolkit/issues/730

The fix was then reverted in https://github.com/cerner/terra-toolkit/pull/814/files#diff-a36d0892a0a105b7e516b0e4964a180398c75d5e5c7e98cdc4a2604f90515611

I'm using node 18 + NPM 9.6.7, which seems to work just fine despite the warning.

Agree with the above. I can't install a package that depends on the duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin:

I also request that you please support current Node/NPM versions. The package now only works if you use outdated Node versions!

Not sure why these node and npm version restrictions were added to package.json in version 2.4.0 of the package, because the 2.3.0 package version has worked and still works just fine with Node LTS (currently version 18.18.0).

I can no longer upgrade after version 2.3.0; please fix.

... Still active.

Would it be enough to just drop the restriction from package.json?

If this package is still supposed to be maintained, please fix. If not, please mark it as deprecated on npm.

Still relevant!
