Heads-up: repo can't be installed with Node.js 22

[wojtekmaj]

Provide your feedback here.

The repository fails to install on Node.js 22, soon to become a widely used LTS version.

The cause is eslint-plugin-jsdoc which has engines specified as "node": "^14 || ^16 || ^17 || ^18 || ^19". Latest version, in turn, has it set to "node": ">=18", while minimum Node.js version currently supported by this repo for development is 14.15.0.

Unfortunately it looks like more than just eslint-plugin-jsdoc is problematic. node-gyp and everything which depends on it fails.

One of the things depending on node-gyp is lerna, which we should be able to remove once we update to Yarn 4
