ci: use GH Action for detecting LTS Node

[eglitise]

Same as https://github.com/appium/appium/pull/20059. Also adjusted unit tests to be skipped for Markdown file changes.

It looks like functional tests don't work anymore. Could you please try also bumping the java version there to 17?

Seems like the architecture also needs to be changed? Unsure...

[mykola-mokhnach]

PANIC: Avd's CPU Architecture 'x86' is not supported by the QEMU2 emulator on aarch64 host.

Yes, looks like GH switched to use ARM runners now. This should be good news through - they should perform much better than intel ones

[mykola-mokhnach]

Or maybe we can switch to KVM runners: https://github.com/ReactiveCircus/android-emulator-runner?tab=readme-ov-file#running-hardware-accelerated-emulators-on-linux-runners

[mykola-mokhnach]

Actually we may try to copy the related changes from https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver/actions/runs/8919253215/job/24495129792?pr=770

That one only needs the xq tool and Andoid SDK to be installed. The first one could be done via apt-get: sudo apt-get -qq install xq The second one: https://github.com/android-actions/setup-android

In that case maybe it's better if I revert the functional test changes in this PR, so they can be done entirely in Kazu's PR? Same for the Espresso driver PR.

Yea, let me check the KVM runner stuff in https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver/pull/770 This PR currently can focus on nodejs stuff, looks reasonable to me
