examples/bare-node not working

[nite]

What happens?

The examples/bare-node example isnt working with node 22/23

To Reproduce

Change the Worker import to

const { Worker } = require('worker_threads');

and run

 node .\node-duckdb.js
TypeError: this._worker.addEventListener is not a function
    at f.attach (...@duckdb\duckdb-wasm\dist\duckdb-node.cjs:1:13364)
    at new f (...\@duckdb\duckdb-wasm\dist\duckdb-node.cjs:1:13283)
    at ...node-duckdb.js:21:20

Browser/Environment:

node 22/23

Device:

windows (also tried ubuntu)

DuckDB-Wasm Version:

1.29.0

DuckDB-Wasm Deployment:

node

The code needs web-worker - I believe the API pattern for web workers versus node worker threads is different.

I think an issue here is that package.json doesn't refer to web-worker, so it isn't installed by npm install.

I got bare-node working by doing npm i --save web-worker@1.4.1

Note the version pinning: v1.5.0 of web-worker has a regression that I reported here

Hopefully this points to a fix for you.
