Draco compression tries to use the fetch api to load the wasm blob off the filesystem and fails with `ERR_INVALID_URL`

Seems to only happen in Node 18. Node 16 works fine. I tested draco 1.5.2 for both.

Assuming this problem isn’t caused by gltf-pipeline in some way, could you submit to bug report to the draco repo?

Done: https://github.com/google/draco/issues/888

No, I didn’t look very hard into this. An easy workaround seems like it should be possible though.
