docs: update nodejs template guide to match node versions

Browse Source 
The node versions that are maintained as part of the LTS (long term support plan) have incremented by 2 in accordance with [LTS Plan](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/). The [nodeJS starter templates](https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows/blob/main/ci/node.js.yml) were updated and I am updating these docs to reflect that.

Sincere thanks for github actions!

The `setup-node` action takes a Node.js version as an input and configures that version on the runner. The `setup-node` action finds a specific version of Node.js from the tools cache on each runner and adds the necessary binaries to `PATH`, which persists for the rest of the job. Using the `setup-node` action is the recommended way of using Node.js with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} because it ensures consistent behavior across different runners and different versions of Node.js.

The template includes a matrix strategy that builds and tests your code with three Node.js versions: 8.x, 10.x, and 12.x. The 'x' is a wildcard character that matches the latest minor and patch release available for a version. Each version of Node.js specified in the `node-version` array creates a job that runs the same steps.

Each job can access the value defined in the matrix `node-version` array using the `matrix` context. The `setup-node` action uses the context as the `node-version` input. The `setup-node` action configures each job with a different Node.js version before building and testing code.
