Updating uint8arrays package to lts stable

[mzkrasner]

Current outdated uint8arrays package versions are conflicting with modern bundlers as we're seeing in certain integrated environments (such as Next.js v14+).

This PR updates uint8arrays to latest stable (v5)

• Tests continue to pass
• Builds successfully

Hey folks,
We had the version of uint8arrays fixed to 3.1.1 as that was the last version publishing a CommonJS compatible package. Later pure-ESM releases cause issues in commonJS environments.
Even though I would prefer to move to ESM I'm not sure how to reconcile these 2 scenarios.

There is a way: move to pure ESM. Nodejs handles ESM pretty well these days, as well as the bundlers.
