This manual backport is needed because bcf5850 from #63737 does not cleanly backport. The width of the table https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/BUILDING.md#platform-list in the
mainandv22.xbranches is different.Background
Node.js does not support a platform version if a vendor has expired support for it.
The lowest Alpine Linux version supported is v3.21 according to https://alpinelinux.org/releases/, so
minimum versions are aligned to Alpine v3.21 and are bumped to:
Documentation backport needed as reference for the support description in nodejs/docker-node for Alpine Linux x64 images. Docker documentation needs to move from describing these builds as "Experimental" to categorizing them as falling under "Tier 2" support - see musl builds for Alpine.
