Fix @simplewebauthn/server not working in edge environments

[Maronato]

One of @simplewebauthn/server dependencies cbor-x, supports streams, which uses Node's and Deno's stream interface.

Unfortunately, stream is not part of the standard Web APIs that many edge compute runtimes use (e.g. Vercel doesn't support it, and Cloudflare requires a separate node: namespace). Importing it throws errors like these:

Since the only object used from cbor-x is Encoder, the fix is pretty simple. Instead of importing the entire package, we only import its encode file, which is officially exported. This avoids loading the stream.js file that uses stream.

I tested it by patching @simplewebauthn/server directly in my node_modules and it worked without issues, but I haven't attempted to build it locally. I don't see a reason for it not building, though.

Let's see what CI has to say about this, we'll find out quick if this is works. 🤞

CI failure:

error: Uncaught "The following specifiers were indicated to be mapped to a package, but were not found:\n * https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/index.js"

You also need to update the path mapping this to an NPM package here:

But since we're not importing index.js I don't know hot dnt will handle this 🤔

Looks like we can use subPath. I'm trying to build it now

All tests passed with act

Hi @MasterKale!
CI should pass now. Let me know if you need anything else :)

Thank you for your contribution, @Maronato, this looks good to me
