Use Object.assign instead of deprecated util._extend

[nikeee]

When building an app using Vite, there is this deprecationw arning when using Node.js 22:

[DEP0060] DeprecationWarning: The `util._extend` API is deprecated. Please use Object.assign() instead.

This PR resolves that.

Object.assign is supported since Node.js 4.

When should we expect updated version with required changes for fix of this warning.

[austinbiggs]

What would it take to get this merged?

[cami-dev]

Nice that this got merged. Would be awesome with a release now been a few years :) @jcrugzz is one in the works? or prob not happening? should we be using master instead?

Now still no any progress after a year. So we have to put this patch in preinstall script

[
    'http-proxy/lib/http-proxy/index.js', 'http-proxy/lib/http-proxy/common.js', // any others
].map(id => require.resolve(id)).filter(file => /_extend/.test(fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8'))).forEach(file => {
    console.log('patching', file);
    fs.writeFileSync(file, fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8').replaceAll("require('util')._extend", 'Object.assign'));
})

Half of all framework dev servers depend on this dependency and the fix is a few lines of codes with easy replaces and we still don't get an official patch release. wtf.

TBH this issue has been patched on Vite's side over a year ago, and this week, they dropped dependency on http-proxy, switching to a maintained fork, http-proxy-3. Which I would recommend doing as well.

Is this repository is no longer being maintained?

Are there alternative projects that should be used instead?
