Description of change

Add notes on npm version compatibility for methods to update the copy of node-gyp that npm uses.

Also mention that this is tested on npm 8, now that npm 8 exists. (Npm 8 is the same as npm 7 for purposes of these instructions.)

Lastly, add a note that one of the methods is simpler/more durable, but only functional for npm 6 and older.
