Transitive dependency on deprecated inflight package

[skagedal]

As noted in this eslint issue, mocha has a transitive dependency to the deprecated, memory-leaking inflight package.

This is not a direct dependency of mocha, but comes in through several paths.

For some reason, I don't get the deprecation warning when I run npm install --ignore-scripts from current main (commit 2f3fedcc):

Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Some versions have web compatibility issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

However, the deprecated module inflight does get installed into node_modules. This issue exist to track its removal through various dependencies.
