The nodejs.org website build uses fibers which is broken on Node.js 16
due to an incompatibility with the version of V8 that it contains.
Switch the Docker image used to build the website from node:latest to
node:lts to buy some time for the website to migrate off fibers.

The nodejs.org website build uses `fibers` which is broken on Node.js 16
due to an incompatibility with the version of V8 that it contains.
Switch the Docker image used to build the website from `node:latest` to
`node:lts` to buy some time for the website to migrate off `fibers`.

🤦 I don't even want to know why fibers is getting involved here but using lts is a good move regardless

FWIW I recommended (nodejs/nodejs.org#3828 (comment)) that the website drops use of fibers.
