Owner

This is part of a bigger workflow to move the tlaternet server to flakes.

This portion is particularly tricky, since it involves converting this nodejs package. Previously, this was done through a tarball (I know... nodejs isn't easy to wrangle into a functional build).

This PR converts the previous approach into a proper build with the help of node2nix.

This also commits some yak-shaving, and upgrades to the newest version of the upstream parcel - might as well get all the annoying npm wrangling out of the way now.

Current patch works, but could use some cleaning. In a nutshell:

Introduction of nix flakes needs to be reworked.
- Ideally this happens after all of the npm updates, since that way the node2nix generation only happens once and is a bit cleaner.
typescript/parcel update changes bleed into each other
- Ideally we'd step through the update changes to make sure that we have all the fancy new packages and dependencies before starting to wade through typescript linitng.
Typescript formatting should be a separate commit
Make use of parcel validators (specifically typescript)
Updating npm dependencies is a chore
- Not sure how to best do this, as npm doesn't seem to support udpating easily
