Support Node 18 & 20

[davidkel]

node 18 LTS is due on 25th October 2022, however the build fails with 2 issues

1. Yo generator integration tests fail

${GENERATOR_METHOD} -- --workspace 'myWorkspace' --contractId 'mymarbles' --contractVersion 'v0' --contractFunction 'queryMarblesByOwner' --contractArguments '["Alice"]' --workers 'marbles' --benchmarkName 'A name for the marbles benchmark' --benchmarkDescription 'A description for the marbles benchmark' --label 'A label for the round' --rateController 'fixed-rate' --txType 'txDuration' --txDuration 'marbles'

      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

}

It's possible that previous versions of node report an error which Yo handles but a change means perhaps Yo misses this and throws an error now. May need to move to a newer version of Yo.

2. fisco-bcos fails

Error: Error: C017C378007F0000:error:0A000127:SSL routines:tls_construct_ctos_supported_groups:no suitable groups:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/statem/extensions_clnt.c:246:No groups enabled for max supported SSL/TLS version

    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)

Looks like node has changed the version of openssl again and causes problems with fisco-bcos. If we can't fix fisco-bcos then we should consider deprecating it saying that it won't work on node 18 and that it will be dropped from caliper in the next .x release and exclude it from the node 18 integration test

We will need documentation updates to confirm node 18 is supported and also the state of fisco-bcos

see #1517 for code changes, still need doc changes

• replace all references to node 14, node 16 in the vNext docs and replace with node 18, node 20
