<summary>Major version release</summary>

On the main branch, instead of reverting changes made to `src/node_version.h`
edit it instead and:

* Increment `NODE_MAJOR_VERSION` by one
* Reset `NODE_PATCH_VERSION` to `0`
* Change `NODE_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` back to `0`

Amend the current commit to apply the changes:

```console
$ git commit --amend
```

</details>

Even if there are no conflicts, ensure that you revert all the changes that were
made to `src/node_version.h`.
