fetch API breaks existing module and adding --no-experimental-fetch fixes the problem

[tomfinegan]

Repro steps:

1. Install node 18
2. npm install draco3d
3. change dir to draco3d install directory
4. node draco_nodejs_example.js

Above fails:

$ node draco_nodejs_example.js

Node.js v18.2.0

Adding --no-experimental-fetch fixes the issue:

$ node --no-experimental-fetch draco_nodejs_example.js

I've been having the same issue, this worked for me as well. Thanks!
