Bump NodeJS Version #53

When we originally started this project, the Node version tested against and set in the .nvmrc file was v4.4.3, as this was the MightyHive standard. However, I would recommend bumping this to at least 6.x. The "Maintenance" cycle for the 4.x series ends in April 2018, which could potentially leave MH's repos running on a deprecated engine.

I would personally recommend making the jump to 8.x series, which as of October, 2017 became the newest LTS (with 6.x running as a concurrent LTS for a bit). The newest versions of Node offer some great improvements in the native APIs and ES spec support. You can view more information in the Node releases page.
