Use platform Node when available? #117

VSCode is a pretty heavy app, and Chromebooks and RPis are notoriously small. I get using nvm to pull down a compatible version of Node in cases where there isn't a platform version or where it's incompatible due to Node's rapid rate of change, but I'm not sure that's the case here.

I'm running Debian Buster, which ships Node 10.19.0. Your build.sh pulls Node 10.15.3. Surely you can go with the platform version if they're on the same major version number? And if not, then at least when the platform version is on a higher feature release of that major version?
