Release v4

[bmish]

I think we are ready to release a patch version of generator-eslint with the current changes that have been merged already.

In addition, starting to prepare for a major version release (generator-eslint v4):

• feat: upgrade plugin template dependencies #133
• feat: strictly define Node API in plugin template #134
• feat!: drop Node 12/17 support #135
• feat: drop ESLint v6 support in plugin template #136

Regarding major version release timing:

• We could do a major release now/soon and then perform a minor release to upgrade the plugin template to ESLint v9 when that gets released in the coming months (get changes out sooner)
• Or we could wait until ESLint v9 is released (not strictly necessary but could do this to align the release schedule or ensure full preparedness for ESLint v9)

I don’t think we need to plan too carefully for a major version of this package given that it’s not something people use all the time. If there’s stuff that’s good to get out, we can release a major update at any time.
