Clarify supported node.js versions in Readme.md

If N-api bindings are used, this implies Node 9 or 10. Node 8.x would not be supported unless N-api gets back ported, right?

Yes. This didn't seem that important to me as Node <9? doesn't support bigints anyway, but will clarify that in the readme, thanks!

And it was an obvious mistake on my part trying to install with node 8. The build and run warning was a clear sign N-api was a dependency, and the node-gyp build warned. The Int64 not yet fully supported in the javascript platform was news to me. So contemplating moving to Node 10.

I think Node version clarification is needed as this currently can't run on AWS Lambda due to them only have Node 6/8 as possible environment.
