[Pkg-javascript-devel] nodejs 10.7 is LTS - please help with stable backport

[Jérémy Lal]

How to help ? Ensure:
- it builds in stable
- it pass tests in stable
- it builds on *all* archs (where it used to) in stable
-  it doesn't break any stable reverse (build-)dependency

Why ?
Because nodejs has become a central piece of software for web developers,
and web services, and the version in stable is difficult to maintain
security-wise.
Why help ?
Because i'm alone with nodejs package maintenance, and that's preposterous.

Where ?
in the debian/buster branch of nodejs project in salsa.

Some details
As soon as i tried to make the backport pass its test suite, i had to build
nodejs with
its bundled nghttp2, and i had to patch nodejs to work with the version of
libuv1 in stable.
For the failures on mipsel, i think i found a solution in the master-10.x
branch, to be cherry-picked.
