Provide static nodejs option

[cpboyd]

Description:
setup-node fails on linux image without dependencies.

Action version:
v4.4.0

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows
• Custom: gcr.io/kaniko-project/executor:debug

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:

node v20 (in order to run other actions)

Repro steps:
Attempting to run other node/typescript actions like https://github.com/actions/checkout

Expected behavior:
The actions should work as expected.

If GitHub intends for people to run Actions with Nodejs, then a static version of node should be provided that can work on images without all the necessary libraries.

Specifically, GitLab did not have this problem because checking out files and loading values from Hashicorp Vault occurred before the volume was mounted to the runner.

Actual behavior:
The actions fail with unhelpful "not found" errors, likely due to missing libraries.

As a workaround, using a sh run: step before any node-based actions, if you've already compiled and included your own static version of node:

          # Replace GitHub node binary with static compiled node:
          FILE="/__e/node20/bin/node"
          set -x
          rm -f "${FILE}"
          ln -s /kaniko/node "${FILE}"
