This polyfill was added because node versions less than 10.5.0 didn't include scrypt support. As we now raised the minimum required version to 12.0.0, this polyfill isn't needed anymore.

Impact
---
An attacker can read arbitrary `.md` files from the server's filesystem due to an [improper input validation](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html), which results in the ability to perform a [relative path traversal](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/23.html).

PoC / Quicktest
---
To verify if you are affected, you can try to open the following URL: `http://localhost:3000/..%2F..%2FREADME#` (replace `http://localhost:3000` with your instance's base-URL e.g. `https://demo.hedgedoc.org/..%2F..%2FREADME#`).
- If you see a README page being rendered, you run an affected version.
Analysis
---
The attack works due the fact that [the internal router, passes the url-encoded alias](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/blob/master/lib/web/note/router.js#L26) to the `noteController.showNote`-function. This function passes the input directly to [`findNote()`](78a732abe6/lib/web/note/util.js (L10)) utility function, that will pass it on the the [`parseNoteId()`](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L188-L258))-function, that tries to make sense out of the noteId/alias and check if a note already exists and if so, if a corresponding file on disk was updated.
If no note exists the [note creation-function is called](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L240-L245)), which pass this unvalidated alias, with a `.md` appended, into a [`path.join()`-function](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L99)) which is read from the filesystem in the follow up routine and provides the pre-filled content of the new note.
This allows an attacker to not only read arbitrary `.md` files from the filesystem, but also observes changes to them.
The usefulness of this attack can be considered limited, since mainly markdown files are use the file-ending `.md` and all markdown files contained in the hedgedoc project, like the README, are public anyway. If other protections such as a chroot or container or proper file permissions are in place, this attack's usefulness is rather limited.
Workarounds
---
On a reverse-proxy level one can force a URL-decode, which will prevent this attack because the router will not accept such a path.

The previous error message stated that the version of Node or
Yarn is "outdated", which might be accurate coincidentally,
but is not what the script checks.
This commit changes the wording to use "not supported", which
is more accurate to the true check in the script.

As Node 10 will be EOL at April 30th, we should stop supporting
and/or promoting the usage of that version.
