Update to node v17.3.1

[nightpool]

This also includes a performance improvement for the build_monolith.sh script, which is to invoke ar once with all of the libraries to be included, rather then building it incrementally. Because of how ar creates a copy of the archive to update rather then updating the archive file in place, this speeds up the creation of the archive file significantly (When building with debug symbols, build_monolith.sh alone was taking >12 hours, and now takes 30ish minutes).

Thanks for this update @nightpool!

I can't recall why I did that, I think it was when trying to debug some specific symbol missing situations, and then having split ar calls made them appear for some reason.

Hey @lloeki. Any plans on releasing a new version yet? Especially #27 would be interesting, since a bunch of mini_racer installation issues are caused by this.

I don't know much about building C/C++ projects, but I'm happy to help where I can (I have Intel and M1 hardware available).

[lloeki]

Yup, plans indeed, it's just that I had to pull off some double shifts last month to reach some goals.

So plans are a) recover a bit from that b) build and push missing aarch64 musl lib and a new fat libc+musl c) build and push 17.x d) get aarch64 musl cross compiling sorted out

@lloeki any chance we can do a release? perhaps we can add @nightpool to the rotation of people who can do the releases to decrease bus factor?

I'm AFK til next week (checking things on phone), I'll do the release then and add @nightpool as suggested.
