Consider compatibility with npm-node23

[grahamperrin]

• https://www.freshports.org/www/npm-node22/#packages includes packages for quarterly and latest
• https://www.freshports.org/www/npm-node23/#packages includes packages for latest

Without looking at things in detail, I guess that quarterly packages for npm-node23 will appear soon in the first quarter of 2025.

Related (draft):

• README: electron32 #22

Rationale for the step up from 20

Installation of npm-node23 requires removal of npm-node20.

The ideal would be to use node-22 since it is the stable and lts version of node, as soon as electron32 is out quatertly i will compile discordbsd with it. In turn, I will check on freebsd 15 how it works

Thanks for educating me about version 22.
