update to electrum-cash/network v4 or electrum-cash/protocol

Jonathan recommended updating to electrum-cash/network v4 or electrum-cash/protocol

you might want to update to electrum-cash/network v4 or electrum-cash/protocol - did a major update recently after about 8 months or so, which no longer needs manual polyfills for node stuff when run in a browser.

CashScript currently uses "electrum-cash": "^2.0.10"

Upgrading might solve issue #147 'Allow for config-free usage in browser (e.g. Next.js)'

It looks like the ElectrumCluster was removed from the new packages. From checking the BCH Devs telegram group, this should get re-added into the @electrum-cash/application package in the future. If we wanted to migrate now, that would be a breaking change since we go from a cluster to a single client.

So either way, we postpone this to the next major release (v0.11). If by that time, clusters are working again, we'll use a cluster, otherwise we'll make the breaking change to a single client.
