chore: update electron@42.6.0

[deepak1556]

Refs https://releases.electronjs.org/release/compare/v42.5.0/v42.6.0

Fixes #323051

Note

npm version bump with this update brings in support for explicit approval of install scripts. The explicitly allowed ones all carry a native module dependency build, with only exception of ssh2 being disallowed as we don't use its native cpu-features.

There is electron@42.6.1 released, and it resolves the "crash triggered by replacing an open application menu" issue. Sounds like it's worth to be updated again and since this is a patch level upgrade it should be trivial.
