@mkrufky Your review, please.

Looking at the test output from this, there are a lot of failures on ancient versions. Am I correct in assuming that this is expected. The reason for keeping as old a node-gyp as possible has been to enable testing on these ancient versions. I am prepared to drop them from testing if necessary.

We should not actively encourage building software on unsupported versions of Node.js, node-gyp, or Python.

We could focus GitHub Actions on testing the versions that actually pass on that CI.

We could retool the AppVeyor tests to cover only the old and ugly versions on nan@v2.22.0 that we cannot get to pass on GitHub Actions using nan@latest.

Let's move forward with #987 which adds the GitHub Actions tests. Merging that one will autoclose this PR and two others.

Once this is merged, we can then rework the AppVeyor tests in #983 to provide guidance on older versions of Node.js
