[RFC PATCH v2 0/3] lts mixin: kirkstone/nodejs proposal

["António Oliveira" <antonio.oliveira@konsulko.com>]

Hi all,

This patch contains my proposal for an mixin layer that adds nodejs v18
to kirkstone.

Kirkstone ships with nodejs-16, whose maintenance window ended in
October 2023 (a).

Kirkstone will be supported until April 2026 and it would be nice to have
some level of support for a maintained version of nodejs during that time
window.

This proposal seeks to address that by adding nodejs-18, which will be
maintained until April 2025.

The recipes for nodejs-18 are taken from Mickledore

The variable NODE_VERSION is set from the layer configuration to select
nodejs-18. It can be overridden in case anyone wants to use any other.

This is my first attempt at sending a patch upstream with git send-email
so any comments or suggestions for improvement are welcome. That's also
the reason why I marked this as an RFC.

Revisions of this proposal:
v1:
  * Initial attempt at this proposal with nodejs-18 and nodejs-20

v2
  * split into smaller commits
  * included José's suggestion of adding the dependency on the
  "openembedded-layer" due to default configuration settings of nodejs.
  * Updating to the latest nodejs-20 recipes forced me to also backport
  icu_74-1 from master. Sadly this broke a build of lvgl and I opted to
  keep nodejs-20 on the backburner for now.


Cheers,
António
