Prefer Node 24.x

[cmoesel]

NOTE: Ignore Failed CI for npm audit. There is currently no available resolution.

This pull request updates cql-execution to prefer Node 24 for development and testing. It does this via the following changes:

• Adds nodejs 24.14.0 to the ASDF .tool-versions file
• Updates @types/node to ^24.12.0 in the package.json file
• Updates the .github/workflows/ci-workflow.yml file to use Node 24 for npm audit, check cql4browsers, lint, and prettier; and uses a matrix of Node 18, 22, and 24 for running tests
• Updates the README.md to express preference for Node 24 and deprecation of Node 18

It also updates outdated dependencies and fixes npm audit issues as possible (with the exception of elliptic, which has no fix available).

To test, use Node 24 (via ASDF or any other means) to npm install, npm run build:all, and npm run test:plus. All tests should pass and there should not be any changed files.

Looks good! Works fine in fqm-execution as expected.
