🌱 Update project to use nodejs 20, npm >=10.5.2

[sjd78]

Upgrade the project to use nodejs-20 in the Dockerfile, and package.json engine block. More specific entries for .dockerignore will help keep the COPY step quick (especially for local dev image builds).

Reasoning:

• nodejs-18 is in LTS until May 2025, but nodejs-20 will be in LTS until May 2026. ¹

• node and npm are distributed together, and the ubi9/nodejs-20 container has a newer version of npm included (10.7.0) than the current ubi9/nodejs-18 container (10.5.0)

• Given github issues ² and ³, we can assume that the only versions of npm that will be stable in CI during the npm install phase are npm@9 and npm@>=10.5.2. Any npm version <10.5.2 is at severe risk of encountering network errors when installing packages, especially when running in a qemu environment for non-native architecture builds.

• Being very specific in the package.json engines block will help keep everyone on working versions of npm.
