We want to make sure our users are using a secure version of npm. This commit bumps default Node.js version specified by .nvmrc to the latest Node 14 version. This includes the latest version of npm, which is patched to close an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. This follows a recommendation by the GitHub security blog [1].

its a good change, we just need to think carefully about how we tell the community given this was never a documented feature and its an advanced technique

@joelanman, agree, I'm thinking about that, I've opened a separate issue where we can discuss this further: #1077
