Depend on a specific version of Node.js

We're choosing version 18 because if offers support for SSL 3, just
like Ruby 3.1 does.

Note we're symlinking a .nvmrc file as well, in order to make it
compatible with NVM. While the .nvmrc and .node-version files use
different formats, they both support the syntax we're using to
define the version.

The code to install Node.js in the Dockerfile is a simplification of the
code in the Rails Dockerfile template [1].
