Vulnerable to Infinite Loop via malformed MKV file through file-type package

[qooban]

The following report is provided by NPM audit when using the latest version of decompress package (v4.2.1):

file-type  <16.5.4
Severity: moderate
file-type vulnerable to Infinite Loop via malformed MKV file - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mhxj-85r3-2x55

More description about the problem is provided here: GHSA-mhxj-85r3-2x55

The fix was implemented in file-type v16.5.4, so probably file-type should just be bumped in sub-packages: decompress-tar, decompress-tarbz2, decompress-targz, decompress-unzip.
