chore: upgrade node to v18

[HumairAK]

Description of your changes:
Resolves: #10770
Furthers: #10777

Note while node 18 is still in maintenance, this is not the latest 18.x release, which is 18.20.2 as of this writing. I was encountering issues with 18.19 and 18.20, so I settled for 18.18 to resolve the current build issues. But we update to the latest as a follow up.

@craco/craco also needed a minor version bump, and package-lock.json was updated via npm i --package-lock-only, with the following env:

{
  npm: '9.8.1',
  node: '18.18.2',
}

I'm not well versed in frontend so if this is not the right way, let me know and I can update it.

Are there any plans of backporting this to a specific release/version?
