Subject: [PATCH] Build/Test: Prevent using unsupported NPM versions.

Using NPM 7+ currently causes a number of issues. In order to improve developer experience, we should prevent a developer from going down the road of using incompatible engines.

See also: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/29204 and https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/23600.

Props rcorrales.
Fixes #56547.
