[ASDF] Install legacy nodejs version using a custom node-build.

Context

Sometimes you need to install a Node.js version that is not available in the official ASDF plugin (because node-build lacks the definition or the version was never added). This guide explains how to manually add a custom node-build definition so ASDF can install any Node.js version — including legacy or unreleased ones.

1. Check if ASDF supports the version

asdf list-all nodejs | grep 20.18
