npm install failed in engine strict mode for npm >=7 check

[swarnadeepsaha]

Describe the bug
In this change
npm engine >=7 create an issue where npm >=6.14 <7.

To Reproduce

• node 14 minimum requirements (npm is >=6.14) with engine-strict=true.
  https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases
• Or install node 14 using the node version manager(nvm) tool with engine-strict=true.

npm install will fail with:

npm ERR! code ENOTSUP
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported engine for yaml@2.3.0: wanted: {"node":">= 14","npm":">= 7"} (current: {"node":"14.20.0","npm":"6.14.17"})
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: yaml@2.3.0
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: yaml@2.3.0
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">= 14","npm":">= 7"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual:   {"npm":"6.14.17","node":"14.20.0"}

Expected behavior
npm >= 6.14, not npm >= 7

Versions:

• Environment: Node.js 14.20.0
• yaml: 2.3.0

That's a bit unfortunate, as npm v7 is required for the build. Guess we'll need to drop it from the engines config.

I would also encourage you to consider updating your environment, as Node.js v14 has reached its end of life.

Yes, node upgrade is on the list too.
Thanks @eemeli for the quick response.
