transitive dependency on deprecated `punycode` node module

[leoschweizer]

This library transitively depends on ent, which uses the now deprecated node module punycode.

npm ls ent
...
└─┬ ...
  └─┬ @google-cloud/[email protected]
    └─┬ @google-cloud/[email protected]
      └── [email protected]

This results in a deprecation warning when running on node >= 21:

(node:23520) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The `punycode` module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.

This has been adressed in @google-cloud/common, see: https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-common/issues/812 - however @google-cloud/error-reporting does not depend on an up to date version of this library.

So @google-cloud/common must be updated to maintain compatibility with upcoming node releases. Edit: more precisely, @google-cloud/common has been updated on the main branch already here https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-error-reporting/pull/715/files - but this is still unreleased!

Environment details

• OS: macos
• Node.js version: 22.0.0
• npm version: 10.5.1
• @google-cloud/error-reporting version: 3.0.5
