no longer possible to install npm deps

the repo has entered dependency hell, where npm can't resolve a set of packages that satisfy all dependencies. specifically peer dependencies

npm ERR! to accept an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution.

running npm install --force does fix the conflict and everything still seems to work correctly, but i'll need to submit a test donation with stripe to make sure.

this all seems like it's stemming from the old react-stripe-elements. unfortunately, that library has changed so much that we would have to re-architect all the javascript, so we can't just update the library.

this also breaks CI builds, because lektor b -f npm can't install the npm dependencies.

committing the updated package.lock doesn't fix this.
