util.parseArgs being promoted from experimental to stable in NodeJs

[shadowspawn]

Proposal to move util.parseArgs to stable: nodejs/node#46640

There may still be some interested experts watching this repo, but future development is likely to be directly in https://github.com/nodejs/node

I would keep this repo till Node.js 16 reaches EOL (2023-09-11)

Should we archive this repo?

Node.js v16 is EOL now

Short version: ok with me

Long version

There may be some dependents who support older node versions and using this library as a polyfill:

• parseargs/package.json

  Line 6 in 6774908

  "node": ">=14"

However, there has been very little activity here in the last year. No releases since 2022. I feel the main point of this repo was proof of concept and to ease adoption until in all LTS versions.

I checked the 8 dependents with published packages and most popular one requires node 18 anyway.
