react-scripts pins fsevents to a version too old for Node 10

Created by: Jessidhia

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes. I have also attempted working around it with a yarn resolutions field, but it seems yarn resolutions turn optional dependencies into required dependencies.

Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

Expected Behavior

No build errors

Actual Behavior

Updating fsevents to 1.2.4, or to a caret version (^1.2.4) is sufficient to avoid the build error.
