nodejs/npm ports: segregate each, so that multiple versions can coexist side-by-side

Description
Since the various NodeJS and NPM ports conflict with each other, that makes it difficult to manage dependencies for dependent components. It also precludes installing multiple versions for use/testing.

I'm willing to help with this, if you folks support it?

Given the recurring issues caused by not bring able to install various Node/NPM versions side-by-side - as well as the fact that this limitation effectively prevents users and Devs from being able to use multiple versions at once - I'm going to prioritize this work.
We've supported side-by-side installation of much more complex stacks like Python, for a long time. And it's time we do the same for Node.

I'm hoping to start tackling this - starting with the oldest Node/NPM versions we provide - over the next few weeks.
It'll be an iterative process for sure, as we'll likely want to refactor shared logic to a new portgroup. But given the benefits of side-by-side installations, this will be given a reasonably high priority.

There is at least one open issue related to this, and perhaps there are others:
influxdb @2.0.7: buildbot builds failing, due to dependencies on both nodejs15 and nodejs16 - issue:63034
