Subject: [PATCH] chore: raise the minimum supported Node.js runtime to 20

Node.js 18 is EOL and the toolchain init installs no longer supports it:
current Playwright releases and the skills CLI both require Node.js 20+.
Bump engines for screenci and create-screenci, run the CI smoke matrix on
Node.js 20, and update the setup docs.
