Title:
  Update gulp

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  A while ago we pinned Gulp to version 3.9 to prevent a problem with
  dependency incompatibility. We now need to upgrade Gulp to version 4
  to get rid of vulnerabilities in some of its dependencies.

  What needs to happen:
  1. Check for dependency incompatibility with Gulp 4 to see if it's still an 
issue. If so, can we work around it?
  2. See what's involved with upgrading to Gulp 4
  3. We could look at the dependencies we are including for gulp (and maybe 
node dependencies too, although this could be a separate issue) and confirm 
that they are needed in Mahara.

  Investigation of the above points:

  1. The only dependency we have now that is incompatible with v.4 seems to be 
gulp-help. It doesn't look like it will cause any problems to remove it, so we 
should just remove it.
  2. There are syntax changes that need to be made, but it looks like they can 
be made in the gulpfile.js, which limits the coding to be done.
  Assumption made: There are no wider changes necessary.
  3. Not looked at at this stage.
