End of Node.js 8 & 10 support

[mrmlnc]

In the new version (4.0.0), we want to exclude version node.js 8, 10 from support.

We will support the following versions another year:

• 12.22.0+
• 14.17.0+
• 16.0.0+

Another reason:

Node.js 12 is no longer supported either. Maybe time to do a major release?

It is time!

The main branch now requires Node.js 16.14.0 and above.
