chore: drop Node.js 20 support

[innerdvations]

What does it do?

• Raise engines.node from ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0 to >=22.12.0 (drop Node 20).
• Raise the SDK CLI Vite build target from node20 to node22.
• Add a major changeset.

Plugin server bundle defaults remain node20 so plugins built with the SDK can still run on Strapi apps that have not dropped Node 20 yet.

Why is it needed?

Node 20 reached EOL on 2026-04-30. Keeping Node 20 in engines while shipping dependencies that require Node 22+ (e.g. chalk 6) is dishonest packaging. CI already only runs on Node 22/24/26.

Related broader work: CMS-656 (CMS monorepo drop — not completed by this PR).

How to test it?

1. On Node 22.12+ (or 24/26): pnpm install && pnpm check
2. Confirm package.json engines is >=22.12.0
3. Confirm vite.config.ts build target is node22
4. Optional: on Node 20, pnpm install should warn/fail engines checks depending on package manager settings
