Description

NiFi is currently on NodeJS v12, which is an LTS release of Node that is EOL in April 2022.

We should upgrade to the latest LTS release, which is v16.

This is also a requirement for adding support for arm64 platforms such as Apple Silicon M1 Macs, as NodeJS v12 does not have a darwin-arm64 binary distribution, but more recent versions, such as v16 do.
