[DEP0111] deprecation warning from restify's dependency on node 16

Restify Version: 8.5.1
Node.js Version: 16.1.0

Expected behaviour

No node deprecation warnings. This is mostly important in the longer term, because if the subsequent LTS version drops the deprecated functionality, that means that restify will be incompatible with node 18.

Actual behaviour

When starting the server:

(node:1751) [DEP0111] DeprecationWarning: Access to process.binding('http_parser') is deprecated.
    at process.binding (node:internal/bootstrap/loaders:133:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/dist/node_modules/http-deceiver/lib/deceiver.js:22:24)
    // cut short

Repro case

Installing restify 8.5.1 and spinning up a restify server on node 16 seems to be enough to trigger the warning.

Cause

Dependency chain: restify -> spdy -> http-deceiver

Are you willing and able to fix this?

I don't think I'm able to. The core functionality that accesses process.binding lives in the http-deceiver package, which is part of spdy.
Unless the behavior can be changed there, or the whole dependency can be replaced, I'm not sure what else can be done.

Reproduce the warning with Restify 8.5.1 on Node.js 16, then inspect dist/node_modules/http-deceiver/lib/deceiver.js and the restify → spdy → http-deceiver dependency chain. Determine whether the deprecated process.binding('http_parser') access can be changed in that dependency or requires replacement. Done means starting a Restify server produces no DEP0111 warning and remains compatible with the stated Node.js versions.
