Migrate CircleCI to supported Node.js version

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Migrate CircleCI circle.yml to run in a supported version of Node.js.

Node.js Releases shows 18.x as the lowest currently supported version of Node.js. CircleCI is currently running on an unsupported 16.x version.

Why is this needed?

circle.yml runs with

        machine:
            image: ubuntu-2204:2022.10.2

from Circle CI Machine Images > ubuntu-2204 which includes Node.js 16.17.1.
This version of Node.js entered End-of-life on Sep 11, 2023 and so it is now unsupported.
