Add integration tests for faster/automatic updating of dependencies #746

If we want to upgrade things like Node/Postgres in future, it would be handy to have tests that we can run to check the app works as expected.

@matkoniecz should we keep in core?

this would be also useful for smaller dependencies

install currently complains about several outdated dependencies with serious security issues

These security issues are often overstated - see https://overreacted.io/npm-audit-broken-by-design/ - and many CVE are really overblown and overstated as it is much easier to write misleading description than to find actual critical bug.

But nevertheless npm WARN deprecated chokidar@2.1.8: Chokidar 2 does not receive security updates since 2019. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x fewer dependencies is something that should not appear on install
