Depreciated NPM packages

[ctypeh]

A majority of the packages used to build the website are depreciated and some will no longer work as a result when trying to do a fresh install. Some effort is needed to update these.

These dependencies all pertain to the gulp build system. Gulp has since been updated to version 4 and has a slightly different interface. If you migrate the gulpfile.js to version 4 then you should be able to eliminate these warnings.

I went ahead and upgraded the build system as a result of dealing with security vulnerabilities, so I think these issues should be resolved. If not, you can run npm outdated to see which packages can be updated.
