Some overdue dependency updates. I've had a look through the details of most of these updates and I'm not finding anything that would likely impact us. I'm also removing the broad dependency options (

) which used to be useful when npm was shipping very different versions. I believe they're just shipping version 6 now. Most of the changes here are matching the dependencies that the current npm master is using. I think with these changes,env-paths
might be the only thing we're pulling in to npm when bundled.There's newer versions of some of these, like tar (this update was prompted by #1918), but npm isn't shipping that yet. I suspect npm is holding back on a lot of updates to maintain older Node compatibility (the README says v6 but .travis.yml says v8).
I believe these changes can be safely backported to v5.x.
