Breaking changes

• Use dedicated mapping for Vaadin push endpoint (#15188)
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  A dedicated fixed url is now used in Flow for PUSH requests: /VAADIN/push.
  This might be a breaking change for configurations including reverse-proxies (see #14641) and needs a reconfiguration of the proxy redirect rules.
  Also removes pushUrl configuration parameter, because it was introduced to workaround an issue in old version of JBoss and don't need to be used by developers.

• Enable auto update of installed Node by default (#15044)
  Commit · Pull request

  This makes Flow keep its installed Node.js version up to date. Manually installed Node.js versions are not affected.

• Extract addon files to frontend/generated/jar-resources instead of a fake npm package (#14979)
  Commit · Pull request · Issue

  No longer creates target/flow-frontend, so any tool or script relying on that needs to be updated to avoid the following errors:

  ERROR(TypeScript)  Cannot find module '@vaadin/flow-frontend/Flow' or its corresponding type declarations.
  

  Any manual import in JS/TS files from @vaadin/flow-frontend needs to be updated to Frontend/generated/jar-resources.
