build: disable bazel nodejs linker to improve stability on windows (#45872)

The NodeJS Bazel linker does not work well on Windows because there
is no sandboxing and linker processes from different tests will attempt
to modify the same `node_modules`, causing concurrency race conditions
and resulting in flakiness.
