bbb-webhooks - inactive `unsafe-perm` is not a valid npm option

[Jorge L]

Hello, I updated from version 2.6.11 to 2.7, when doing "sudo bbb-conf --status" the bbb-webhooks process did not start, what it shows is:
npm ERR! unsafe-perm is not a valid npm option
and the log file shows the following:

The fix should be in 2.7.1. See bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton#18734 (comment)
