runtime: deprecate node 8.x. Require node >= 10.13.0 starting from Etherpad 1.8.3 

Nodejs 8 will be EOLed on December 31th, 2019 (https://github.com/nodejs/Release).

This means any future Etherpad version released from 2020 on should require at
least the next LTS (10.13.0). Let's keep some margin and decide that the first
Etherpad version dropping node 8 compatibility will be 1.8.3.

Closes #3650.
