Add EBADPLATFORM solution to README ?

[samuelneff]

With so many issues that people create about the EBADPLATFORM issue on non-Mac systems, why is this info not in the README?

Thank you

This is still a problem that is impacting all builds. Can I help out with a pull/push or shall I write a script that adds -f to every run script and json? The problem is that it's not removing old 1.x versions of fsevents as a result of this error. Particularlly with Chokidar and WebPack* deps.

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.13 (node_modules/watchpack-chokidar2/node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.2.13: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})

Ubuntu 18 & 20.4

FYI, this is likely a bug on the NPM side. I don't like really any of the workarounds that I've found on StackOverflow or GitHub, but I figured I could put a reference to the bug report here:
npm/cli#2921
