Synk reported an Remote Code Execution vulnerability for the
passport-ldapauth dependency `bunyan`. This RCE is due to wrong command
sanitizing but doesn't only affects the executable the libary provides.
It has no impact on CodiMD.
This patch just updates passport-ldapauth since it's long overdue anyway
and to silence annoying security scanners that pretend this is rather
critical for us.

As @davidmehren figured out, the problem that NodeJS version 14 gets
stuck while CodiMD is starting, was due to the outdated postgres
dependency. The old pg version doesn't work with node version 14 due to
an undocumented API change in the `readyState` in the socket API.
This patch updates the required dependency and this way resolves the
issue.

This patch provides some major upgrades to all database backend library.
It also fixes an issues that appears since the change from sequelize v3
to v5 where mariadb was originally handled by mysql2 and is now handled
by an own mariadb library.

Meta-marked 0.4.4 which we used from our git repository contains a
RegexDOS attack in the marked dependency. The dependency was already
updated in our meta-marked repository, but not updated in yarn.
This made us still vulnerable to this ReDOS which was able to cause a
DOS attack on the server when updating a note.

What is a ReDOS?
A ReDOS attack is a DOS attack where an attacker targets a
not-well-written Regular Expression. Regular expressions try to build a
tree of all possibilities it can match in order to figure out if the
given statement is valid or not. A ReDOS attack abuses this concept by
providing a statement that doesn't match but causes extremly huge trees
that simply lead to exhausting CPU usage.

Huge thanks to @bitinerant for finding this and handling it with a
responsible disclosure.
Also thanks to the `marked`-team for fixing things already.

I don't really like the way to go here, but I guess having those
forcefully upgraded is better than staying around with vulnerable
dependencies.
This patch fixes some vulnerbilities in dependencies that were
categories as high severity.
