fix:util._extend is deprecated in node 22

[HUAHUAI23]

When I run pnpm nx run-many -t serve, I get the following warning message:

(node:1232556) [DEP0060] DeprecationWarning: The `util._extend` API is deprecated. Please use Object.assign() instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

It seems that using Object.assign() can fix this.

@slnode Hello. Can we have some update on that? strong-log-transformer is used in lerna, itself used in jupyterlab.

Best regards and thanks for your actions !

Strongloop was acquired by IBM in 2015. Looks like there's no interest at IBM to maintain their open source modules. Also @rmg and @sam-github (the only contributors to this repo) have both since left IBM for Digital Ocean, so given that this project is still in the strongloop org, they probably no longer have any publishing rights.

At this stage the best course towards fixing it would be contacting NPM about the package apparently being abandoned and getting someone at IBM to write an official looking letter allowing NPM to transfer the package to someone who can take over maintenance of this repo.
