Release 21.0.0

[kou]

Describe the enhancement requested

We have at least one incompatibility change since 20.0.0. For example, we dropped support for (EOL-ed) Node.js 18 by #156.

So we should use major version up.

[kou]

#166 is the last blocker to release a new version from apache/arrow-js.
(We can release a new version after we merge #166.)

@trxcllnt @domoritz @raulcd @assignUser Can I release a new version from apache/arrow-js?

[raulcd]

Given the upgrade to node and other dependencies, I think it's a good idea.
