Fix node bug that makes large writes to stdout fail

We wallpapered around a node bug that breaks compilation in case large writes are made to stdout (see: comment:7:ticket:30321 for context). This is biting us in cases where we actually do need those large write to debug problems like in #31538 (moved).

We should provide a better fix/workaround.

This looks good to me. I cherry-picked the tor-browser patch to branch tor-browser-68.1.0esr-9.0-2 as commit 4458b4e8a09aaa759f1735b36aec860aa61f3ba7, and merged the tor-browser-build patch to master with commit f08dbd57ed76faa08007608130da50c4f80a9d64.
