Updating Node.js

Node.js is a build-time dependency for Uyuni's frontend. Node should be kept up-to-date with a stable version that's in long-term support (LTS), please see Node's lifecycle.

Here's the checklist to update Node.

• Confirm that nodejs-default (available in nodejs-common) includes at least the version you want to update to (should be no-op since nodejs-default tracks the LTS lifecycle)
• Update engines.node in susemanager-frontend/package.json
• Update node-version in all workflows in .github/workflows that require it
• Update Almalinux project config in the project configuration in systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Master to use the desired module stream for nodejs.
• Backport the changes where necessary
• Check that the right nodejs package is in the systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Master:Docker/uyuni-push-to-obs container. If not, change the Dockerfile to force the installation of the right package.
• Same thing for Devel:Galaxy:Manager:4.2:Docker/suma-push-to-obs and any newer versions if applicable.
• Same thing for Manager-4.1/susemanager-utils/testing/docker/4.1/uyuni-push-to-obs*

*As of now, 4.1 is fixed to use nodejs 14. Unless v14 goes EOL during 4.1's lifecycle, we don't plan to upgrade nodejs on this version.
