Bug Description

According to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ , the latest LTS version
of Node.js is now 8.12.0 (since 2018-09-10) (LTS codename "Carbon"),
and I think the nodejs plugin should use that as the default.

If there is any major reason for staying with the 6.x LTS "Boron" series,
the 6.14.2 version listed in nodejs.py is outdated even though it was updated only four months ago (circa June 2018), see LP:1772126.
The latest 6.x LTS version is 6.14.4 with security fixes.
