Supporting Node.js 14 and 16 LTS as the runtime of JavaScript action

See original GitHub issue

Describe the enhancement

Node.js v14.15.0 has been released and the 14.x release line now moves into Active LTS. Can the GitHub Actions runner support it as the runtime of a JavaScript (TypeScript) action? Is there a roadmap for this?

Code Snippet

Today, we can set node12 to runs.using.

runs:
  using: 'node12'
  main: 'main.js'

Can we set node14 (or node16) as follows?

runs:
  using: 'node14'
  main: 'main.js'

Additional information

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#runs-for-javascript-actions

We also need to update the documentation when node14 is available.

Node 14 or 16 would be great for my action here since it uses an ES module and it’s not trivial to get that running under Node 12.

I’m not sure if this is what is being suggested, but please don’t make us wait until after October. I have so much code that requires v14 because of optional chaining.
