chore(deps): migrate to eslint-plugin-n@17.11.1

[MikeMcC399]

• contributes to resolution of Migrate to ESLint flat config for CI tests #529

Issue

The current configuration includes eslint-plugin-node@11.1.0, released in March 2020. Its README text says:

This project has been no longer maintained. Please consider to use https://github.com/eslint-community/eslint-plugin-n.

https://github.com/eslint-community/eslint-plugin-n is a fork of the discontinued eslint-plugin-node, providing version continuity.

Flat configuration support requires a minimum eslint-plugin-n@16.1.0.

eslint-plugin-n@latest is currently eslint-plugin-n@17.11.1 constrained to "node": "^18.18.0 || ^20.9.0 || >=21.1.0"

Change

Replace eslint-plugin-node@11.1.0 with eslint-plugin-n@latest which is currently eslint-plugin-n@17.11.1.

Verification

On Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, Node.js 18.20.4

git clean -xfd
npm ci
npm run lint
npm test

@MikeMcC399 can you fix the merge conflicts so I can merge this? Thanks again for all your work here.

• Unfortunately in the interim PR chore(deps-dev): Bump markdownlint-cli from 0.32.2 to 0.42.0 #532 has caused an issue with engine Node.js 18 compatibility, so I would need the problematic PR reverting before I rebase on the main branch.
• I will put any PRs that I would like reviewed and merged out of Draft state, so you can assume if any of mine are still in Draft, then I'm not expecting them to be ready for merge.
