this fixes the security vulnerability of the node-gyp dependancy "tar", that was present in the previous version of node-gyp. NPM audit referred to the vulnerability as being a High severity vulnerability and the risk being caused by "Arbitrary File Overwrite".
I have tested this upgrade locally in my own application that uses node-sass, and from manual testing this works well and doesn't cause any visual issues, nor are there any errors in the console.
