Taskcluster

GENERAL

▶ [minor]
Node.js major update from 14.17.15 to 16.13.2, the latest LTS version.

Update the worker-ci image from Ubuntu 14.04 to 20.04, the current LTS version.
This image is used in Taskcluster CI testing. This includes Python 3.8 (as
python3), needed to build with node-gyp, and no longer includes Python 2.7.
It also updates the Docker engine from 18.06.3 to 20.10.12.

▶ [minor]
Node.js minor update from 16.13.2 to 16.14.0, the latest LTS version.

▶ [minor]
This release updates the `docker-worker-websocket-client` and
`docker-worker-websocket-server` libraries, used by `docker-worker` to execute
commands inside a running container. These updates fix a bug when reading and
writing data to the process in the container, which may have been broken since
2015, and be a part of why VNC was broken
(see [issue 3542](https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster/issues/3542#issuecomment-746934147)).
This change required for Node v16, and may affect tasks that use this library like the
[interactive feature](https://docs.taskcluster.net/docs/reference/workers/docker-worker/features#feature-interactive).

▶ [patch]
Go patch update from 1.17.6 to 1.17.7.

Replaced `github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go` with `github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v4` as suggested in the *high* dependabot vulnerability listed [here](https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster/security/dependabot/19).

▶ [patch] [4940](https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster/issues/4940)
