Node.js 10 end game


Hi,

	Node.js 10 is end-of-life on April 30. (See
https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/ for the Node.js release timelines).

	We need to go through a multi-step process to roll forward our
Node.js kinds.  The first step is to move the default forward to a newer
LTS version of Node.js.   I've submitted a PR [1] to do this.  OpenWhisk
already supports both Node.js 12 and Node.js 14. Like the last time we did
this (v6 to v10), I propose to skip the default kind to the most recent
LTS, Node.js 14.

	At some point relatively soon after April 30, we'll do a second PR to
mark nodejs:10 as deprecated.  We then eventually (month or two later)
remove the kind entirely in a third PR.
