Description of Change

Rolls nan_version to v2.29.0 (a1b4ba8f), which includes nodejs/nan#1022 "support V8 15.3 and later", and deletes the two patches that carried the same fixes locally: fix_support_v8_15_3_and_later.patch and 8236212_api_remove_deprecated_methods_pt_2.patch. patches/nan is now just the yarn 4 lockfile patch, which applies unchanged since 2.29.0's package.json only bumps the version.

Verified on Linux: e build -t electron:node_headers, then script/nan-spec-runner.js builds all test addons and passes 46/46 JS test files.
