Allow shields to run on node 24

[chris48s]

Node 24 was released a few days ago.

Attempting to run shields on node 24 throws

Exception during run: Error: No such module: http_parser

We've known this would happen at some point because we've been seeing the deprecation warning

[DEP0111] DeprecationWarning: Access to process.binding('http_parser') is deprecated.

for some time.

This isn't a call we're making directly in the shields codebase. I made some more notes on it in #7130 (comment) but in order to get things working on node 24 we are going to have to fix it.

We have 2 options:

1. Fix it in our scoutcamp fork
2. Migrate away from scoutcamp (Modernizing the server #3328 (comment) )

With option 2 being my preferred option.

This is not super urgent because node 22 will receive security updates until April 2027. However this is going to be a big job so we do need to get it done sooner rather than later.

There were two more packages targeted at Node.js 22 or earlier. I've created two PR for them and they have been merged now:

• feat: allow node v24 renovatebot/pep440#955
• feat: allow node 24 renovatebot/ruby-semver#206

We only need to wait for the next version bump from Dependabot.

I also drafted a PR to unblock the http_parser issue so that we can move forward with Node.js 24 support. Do you want to take a look?
