fix: pin @types/node to ^20 and update CI matrix to Node 20 (#55)

**Requirements**

- [x] I have added test coverage for new or changed functionality
- [x] I have followed the repository's [pull request submission
guidelines](../blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-pull-requests)
- [x] I have validated my changes against all supported platform
versions

No new test coverage needed — these are dev dependency and CI config
changes only. Build, tests, and lint all pass locally.

**Related issues**

Fixes the Build and Test CI failure on `main` introduced by commit
ae39134 (`ci: Add dependency-scan GitHub Actions workflow (#54)`).

**Describe the solution you've provided**

The `Build and Test` workflow on `main` is failing because `npm install`
resolves `@types/node@25.x` (pulled in transitively by
`jest`/`ts-jest`), which requires TypeScript 5.2+ for
`Disposable`/`AsyncDisposable` support. This project uses TypeScript
`^4.7.4` (resolves to 4.9.5), so the build fails with dozens of type
errors from `@types/node` `.d.ts` files.

This PR:
1. **Pins `@types/node` to `^20`** in `devDependencies`, which is the
latest major version compatible with TypeScript 4.x.
2. **Updates the CI matrix** from Node 18 to Node 20, since Node 18
reached end-of-life on April 30, 2025.
3. **Updates the minimum Node version to 20** in `package.json`
(`engines` field) and `CONTRIBUTING.md` to stay consistent with the CI
matrix and reflect the EOL status of Node 18.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

- **Upgrade TypeScript to 5.2+**: More forward-looking, but a larger
change with potential downstream effects.
- **Add `skipLibCheck: true` to `tsconfig.json`**: Quick workaround but
masks legitimate type errors in `.d.ts` files.

**Additional context**

> **For reviewer consideration:**
> - The `@types/node` pin uses `^20.19.35` (the latest 20.x at time of
install). Since `package-lock.json` is gitignored, CI will always
resolve the latest within `^20`. The entire 20.x line is compatible with
TS 4.x, so this is safe.
> - `@types/node@20` does not need to exactly match the Node runtime
version — the CI matrix uses `node: latest` and `node: 20`, both of
which are compatible.
> - Node 18 was also exhibiting a separate CI-only type mismatch from
`@openfeature/server-sdk` (older versions resolved non-deterministically
due to absence of a lockfile). Replacing Node 18 with Node 20 in the
matrix sidesteps this, but committing a lockfile would provide more
deterministic builds long-term.
> - A future follow-up to upgrade TypeScript to 5.x would allow
unpinning `@types/node`.

**⚠️ Note:** Bumping the `engines` field from `>=18` to `>=20` is a
**semver-breaking change** for any consumers still on Node 18. If this
needs to be a major version bump, the reviewer should flag accordingly.

**Reviewer checklist:**
- [ ] Confirm `@types/node@^20` is acceptable for TS 4.x compatibility
- [ ] Confirm dropping Node 18 support entirely is acceptable (EOL since
April 2025) — this affects `engines`, CI matrix, and CONTRIBUTING.md
- [ ] Determine whether the minimum Node version bump warrants a semver
major release
- [ ] Consider whether a `package-lock.json` should be committed for
deterministic CI builds (future follow-up)

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Low Risk**
> CI/config and dev-dependency-only changes; main risk is dropping Node
18 support and any downstream consumers still on 18.
> 
> **Overview**
> Updates the project’s supported Node baseline from 18 to 20 by
changing the CI test matrix and the documented/declared minimum runtime
(via `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `package.json` `engines`).
> 
> Pins the development dependency on `@types/node` to the Node 20 type
definitions to avoid incompatible newer typings breaking TypeScript
builds.
