This updates the 3.9 branch to support the latest LTS version of NodeJS (currently 14.x), allowing the same version to be used across all WordPress branches that receive security updates as a courtesy.
Because older branches use (really) old versions of NodeJS, the local Docker environment cannot be backported since the needed dependencies will not run on these older versions (see #48301). This also blocks the ability to move automated testing over to GitHub Actions (see #50401).
This change also introduces a `packager-lock.json` file to the branch.
In addition to backporting the package updates that happened after branching 3.9, dependencies that were removed in future releases have also been updated to their latest versions.

The admin CSS was merged in #18314.
After a couple years as it stood,
The mess it had become just was no good.
One day we realized Grunt is pretty cool,
And said "we should use this as our build tool!"
Now we can maintain separate files with ease,
Using @import and cssmin meets all our needs.
Welcome to the future of the WordPress stylesheets,
And thanks to Slick Rick for the beats.
props jorbin for the initial patch.
