build(deps-dev): bump @metcoder95/https-pem from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1

[ViniciusDev26]

Fixes #5245.

test/http2-abort.js was not the problem. selfsigned occasionally generates a certificate with a serial number OpenSSL cannot parse, so any test that builds a TLS server from a freshly generated pair can fail the same way.

pem.generate() → @metcoder95/https-pem → selfsigned@3.0.1 → node-forge@1.4.0. The serial comes from selfsigned/index.js:

cert.serialNumber = toPositiveHex(forge.util.bytesToHex(forge.random.getBytesSync(9)))

function toPositiveHex (hexString) {
  var msb = parseInt(hexString[0], 16);
  if (msb < 8) return hexString;
  msb -= 8;
  return msb.toString() + hexString.substring(1);
}

That makes the integer positive, but it does not re-minimise it, and DER requires minimal encoding. When the 9 random bytes start with 0x80 (or 0x00) followed by 0x00, the serial keeps two redundant leading zero bytes.

node-forge would normally strip those, except it only strips one, and says so in lib/asn1.js:

// ensure integer is minimally-encoded
// TODO: should all leading bytes be stripped vs just one?
// .. ex '00 00 01' => '01'?

So 00 00 01 … becomes 00 01 …, still non-minimal. A positive INTEGER with a leading 0x00 followed by a byte under 0x80 is illegal padding, and OpenSSL rejects it:

serial = 000001020304050607
DER    = 02080001020304050607

Error: error:068000DD:asn1 encoding routines::illegal padding
  code: 'ERR_OSSL_ASN1_ILLEGAL_PADDING'
  opensslErrorStack: [ 'error:0488000D:PEM routines::ASN1 lib',
                       'error:0688010A:asn1 encoding routines::nested asn1 error',
                       'error:0688010A:asn1 encoding routines::nested asn1 error' ]

It takes two or more zero bytes followed by a byte under 0x80, which needs b0 ∈ {0x00, 0x80}, b1 == 0x00 and b2 < 0x80: roughly 1 in 65536 certificates. selfsigned runs verifyCertificateChain() before returning and it passes, because node-forge's own parser accepts the non-minimal encoding, so the certificate only fails once OpenSSL reads it inside createSecureServer(). There is nothing platform-specific about it, so Windows and http2-abort.js are just where it happened to land.

What this changes

Per review, the fix was landed upstream rather than worked around here: metcoder95/https-pem#2, released as @metcoder95/https-pem@1.0.1. The package now validates each generated certificate with X509Certificate and draws a new serial when OpenSSL refuses it, for both the async generator and the sync path used by the postinstall hook. Each attempt draws an independent serial, so three attempts make it a non-issue, and it throws rather than ever returning a broken pair.

So this PR is now just the bump. No test file changes are needed.

The real fix still belongs in selfsigned, emitting a minimally encoded serial:

const bytes = Buffer.from(forge.random.getBytesSync(9), 'binary')
bytes[0] &= 0x7f
if (bytes[0] === 0) bytes[0] = 0x01
cert.serialNumber = bytes.toString('hex')

Finishing the node-forge TODO so it strips every redundant leading byte would fix the whole class of it, and the retry in https-pem can be dropped once that happens.
