[DRE-maint] Bug#1025220: passenger: Passenger startup fails with nodejs applications using node versions later than 14.x

[Cool Fire]

Package: passenger
Version: 5.0.30-1.2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Passenger errors out when starting a nodejs application when using a
nodejs version later than 14.x. It throws the following error:

/usr/share/passenger/helper-scripts/node-loader.js:41
GLOBAL.PhusionPassenger = exports.PhusionPassenger = new EventEmitter();
^

ReferenceError: GLOBAL is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/share/passenger/helper-scripts/node-loader.js:41:1)
    at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1159:14)
    at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1213:10)
    at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1037:32)
    at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:878:12)
    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47

(Nodejs version: v18.12.1)

It seems that after 14.x the "GLOBAL" alias to the "global" object was
removed. Replacing the usage of "GLOBAL" with its lowercase variant in
the node-loader.js file seems to be the way to fix this.
