Noctua library chain needs to be fixed / brought up to date

[kltm]

Currently, some libraries seem to have not been properly transitioned between node 6 and 8, giving errors like:

```
/home/sjcarbon/local/src/git/amigo/javascript/npm/amigo2-instance-data/node_modules/require-dir/index.js:93
        if (!require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext)) {
                                ^
TypeError: require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function
```

Some explanation here:

Closure of this will be a pass of our noctua-oriented libraries and confirming that node 8.11 and npm 5.6 (more-or-less what we've agreed) are all working for tests.

Done so far:

• minerva-requests
• bbop-response-barista
• noctua-repl
• noctua

Probably others, but this is the main stuff we want working right now.
