Bump dependencies to latest

Key changes:

- Upgrade npm dependencies to their latest
- Upgrade python dependencies to their latest
- Upgrade Node to 22 as 20 is end-of-life since October 2024

Other supporting changes:

- Refactor `assert` with `with` (see nodejs/node#51622)
- Centralize python setup via custom action for consistency
- Specify bash shell for correct argument handling on Windows using
  latest npm (npm/cli#6041)
