File get-uid-gid.js is missing

[Bold Flair]

[ Impact ]

The node-uid-number package is pretty much unusable on Focal because it doesn't ship the "get-uid-gid.js" file. Since this package is a dependency of npm, this means that there can be situations when npm will fail to perform a certain task (see Test Plan).

The package is correctly shipping the file mentioned above on Hirsute; that's why the bug is marked as "Fix Released" for it.

[ Test Plan ]

Inside a Focal container:

# apt install npm -y
# npm install yarn -g
# rm .npm/_logs/*.log
# grep get-uid-gid .npm/_logs/*-debug.log
57 verbose stack Error: Cannot find module './get-uid-gid.js'
64 error Cannot find module './get-uid-gid.js'

When testing the fixed package, make sure to delete the logs under .npm/_logs/.

[ Regression Potential ]

The potential for regression is minimal. The only scenario where I can think a "regression" might occur is if the user has manually created the missing file under /usr/lib/node/ and added local modifications to it, which would then conflict with the official file that we will ship with this update. However, this case is not supported by us.

[ Original Description ]

The Git repository [https://github.com/npm/uid-number/tree/v0.0.6] has a get-uid-gid.js file which isn't included in the 0.0.6 versions of this package.

This effectively breaks this package as functionality doesn't work without that file. Placing the git-uid-gid.js into /usr/lib/nodejs/uid-number/get-uid-gid.js seems to fix the issue.
