Update node repo pool to pull from latest location

DJ Mountney requested to merge update-node-repo-location into master

What does this MR do and why?

nodesource has deprecated the setup script, and more importantly for our images, they have moved to a new repo that has a slight difference in the package filenames.

From the https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

New Update

We'd like to inform you of important changes to our distribution repository nodesource/distributions.

What's New:

  • Package Changes: DEB and RPM packages are now available under the nodistro codename. We no longer package the installer coupled to specific versions. This means you can install Node.js on almost any distro that meets the minimum requirements.
  • Installation Scripts: The installation scripts setup_XX.x are no longer supported and are not needed anymore, as the installation process is straightforward for any RPM and DEB distro.
  • Questions and concerns: To resolve questions and discuss concerns about this update we've opened this discusison space New distribution's packages
