CI for node.js is broken due to chai 4.4.0 release

[link2xt]

npm run test fails with the following error:

> deltachat-node@1.132.1 test:mocha
> mocha -r esm node/test/test.js --growl --reporter=spec --bail --exit


/home/user/src/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/node_modules/chai/lib/chai/assertion.js:69
    flag(this, 'eql', config.deepEqual ?? util.eql);
                                        ^

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
    at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1414:10)

I did not have this error, but then removed node_modules with the node_modules/.package-lock.json inside and now getting this error too. So it is related to some dependency update.

I then replaced chai dependency with exact version, did npm i and then npm run test passed:

We can do this, but would be nice to fix the issue and use the latest version.

I have tested, chai 4.4.0 published less than 9 hours ago fails. chai 4.3.10 works.

So this is broken because of this PR: chaijs/chai#1553
This is the only change between chai 4.4.0 and chai 4.3.10.
Cannot update to chai 5.0 because of chaijs/chai-as-promised#281

There is a PR trying to update JS version, mocha etc., but it is not ready for merging: #4989

I made a PR to downgrade chai: #5154
