@liuxingbaoyu When we dropped 14 the motivation against dropping it was that a serious memory leak (jestjs/jest#11956 (comment)) was preventing people from upgrading to Node.js 16+. However, that bug has then been fixed in Node.js 20 (nodejs/node#49950) and backported to 18 (nodejs/node#51004). |

In this PR we drop Node.js 16 support for Babel 8. Node.js 16 has reached end-of-life on Sept. 11th 2023. The Node.js 18 requirement is also bumped to 18.20.0, which supports
fs.readdir(... { recursive: true }), the--importnode flag, the esm equivalent of--requireand the import attributes. The first feature will be used in babel-cli and the second one may potentially benefit babel-node.The Node.js 20 requirement is also bumped to 20.10.0 for import attributes support.
For references here are node requirements of other popular tools, we are not the first one to drop Node.js 16 so it should probably be fine.
