feat: begin building plugin with node instead of bash (#1120)

## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Enhanced automated build and release processes with containerized builds, improved caching, and refined artifact handling. - Introduced new configuration options to strengthen versioning, integrity checks, and pull request tracking. - Added a new Dockerfile for building the Node.js application. - Added new environment variables for API versioning and validation control. - Implemented comprehensive management of PM2 processes and state. - Introduced a new GitHub Actions workflow for automating staging plugin deployment upon pull request closure. - Updated logic for handling plugin installation and error feedback. - Added new asynchronous methods for managing PM2 processes. - Updated logging configurations for better control over log outputs. - Added Prettier configuration for consistent code formatting. - Introduced a configuration to prevent the application from watching for file changes. - **Bug Fixes** - Improved error handling and user feedback during the installation of staging versions. - **Documentation** - Removed outdated introductory documentation to streamline project information. - **Chores** - Updated deployment routines and validation steps to improve release consistency and error handling. - Simplified packaging and build scripts for smoother staging and production workflows. - Excluded sensitive files from the Docker build context. - Updated the `.gitignore` file to prevent unnecessary files from being tracked. - Adjusted the test timeout configuration for improved test reliability.  --------- Co-authored-by: coderabbitai[bot] <136622811+coderabbitai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

+          --threads <number> For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
+               number of threads to be used for compression. Only has an
+               effect on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
+               the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
+               the default is equal to 2 (due to commonly occuring memory
+               related failures when using many threads with multi-threaded
+               xz compression).
+          --compress <option> Supply a custom option to the compressor.
+               This will be used in place of the default, which is: -9
+          --acls Support storing POSIX ACLs in the package. The resulting
+               package will not be compatible with pkgtools version < 15.0.
+          --xattrs Support storing extended attributes in the package. The
+               resulting package will not be compatible with pkgtools
+               version < 15.0.
+
+If these options are not set, makepkg will prompt if appropriate.
