apt-get install nodejs npm pulls in hundreds of node-* packages
(libhwasan, node-jsonify, node-eslint-utils, etc.) adding 60-90s
to cloud-init. We immediately replace it with Node 22 via n anyway.
Fix: bootstrap n directly from curl and install Node 22 in one step.
No apt nodejs/npm needed.
Before: apt install nodejs npm → npm install -g n → n 22 (slow)
After: curl n | bash -s install 22 (fast, no apt bloat)
