Advanced Node and Express - Package Versioning

See original GitHub issue

Advanced Node and Express section needs package versions added to the instructions, as discussed in: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/pull/39080#pullrequestreview-479988596

Example: " Add passport.socketio version X.X.X, connect-mongo version X.X.X, and cookie-parser version X.X.X as dependencies and require them as passportSocketIo, MongoStore, and cookieParser respectfully. "

Before this is undertaken:

Wait for #39080 to be merged
Discuss which versions to use and how to convey this (express@^4.0.0 or express@~4.2.0)

No rush. Thanks for confirming, I have removed the assignment since this is no longer a showstopper.

Well, it has happened: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/authentication-with-socket-io-connect-mongo/448306

Last versions which definitely work:

"dependencies": {
    "bcrypt": "^5.0.0",
    "connect-mongo": "^3.2.0",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.4.5",
    "cross-env": "^7.0.2",
    "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
    "express": "^4.16.1",
    "express-session": "^1.17.1",
    "html": "^1.0.0",
    "mongodb": "^3.6.0",
    "node": "12.18.0",
    "passport": "^0.4.1",
    "passport-github": "^1.1.0",
    "passport-local": "^1.0.0",
    "passport.socketio": "^3.7.0",
    "pug": "^3.0.0",
    "socket.io": "^2.3.0"
  },

I have tested this. Now, discussion:

Just ask for mongo-connect@3 to be installed
Also change the lesson/code to work with this latest version?
