Patch rules_nodejs library to fix wrong regex string escape

On stable-3.2 branch outdated version of rules_nodejs version is used:
1.5, that suffers from usage of wrong regular expression escapes. More
recent Bazel versions added a check for that regex string escape pattern
and flagging the external rules_nodejs repository as invalid.

Given that upgrade path to recent rules_nodejs version is not a trivial
one: 1.5 => 1.7 => 2.0, and given that also plugins would need to be
updated, we prefer to keep that outdated rules_nodejs version as-is and
patch the wrong line in rules_nodejs distribution instead.

That would allow us to upgrade to recent bazel versions on stable-3.2
branch. We prefer to keep the same Bazel version on all supported stable
branches to reduce/avoid rebuilds when switching between branches.

Note, that this workaround should be reverted when this change is merged
up to master branch.
