Subject: [PATCH] chore(renovate): configure node version consistency (#30816)

Issue number: N/A

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Core does not indicate what node version we should be running, which can
lead to inconsistent versions between local and workflows. These
inconsistencies can lead to workflow failures.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- Provides the node version within package
- Updates the node version of workflows and package at the same time

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.
See
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md#footer
for more information.
