Node.js - v21.4.0

Notable Changes

This release fixes a regression introduced in v21.3.0 that caused the fs.writeFileSync
method to throw when called with 'utf8' encoding, no flag option, and if the target file didn't exist yet.

• [32acafeeb6] - (SEMVER-MINOR) fs: introduce dirent.parentPath (Antoine du Hamel) #50976
• [724548674d] - fs: use default w flag for writeFileSync with utf8 encoding (Murilo Kakazu) #50990
