Node is now on version 14

Is it hard to make it work out of the box with v14?

I'm using it wih node14 and it seems to work just fine. I suggest you update the installation instructions.

A PR is very welcome :)

I did this to install on Parabola GNU/Linux:
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
sudo npm install --global sodium-native (this installs v3 that works with the new node)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server.git
cd ssb-server
npm install -g ssb-server

I now get this error, but I don't know if it affects the functionality:

falling back to javascript version.

ssb-git, ssb-git-web and patchfoo (as ssb-server plugin) seems to work fine it seems.
I followed the installation instructions in their respective repos and it went smooth.

Thats this one: ssbc/chloride#16.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
