Update the minimum supported version of node (10.19.0 -> 16.20.0)

This new minimum version matches the version that we ship with emsdk.
Critically it supports null coalescing & logical assignment needed
by emscripten-core#20549.

One side effect of this is that we no longer need to support the
`NODEJS_CATCH_REJECTION` setting, which was needed only for node
versions older than v15.
