Windows jobs for the build tests are failing

[johnbillion]

See ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/9005687539/attempts/3 . The Windows jobs are failing with the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\npm\prefix\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js'

There appears to be a regression in Node.js 20.13.0 for Windows (see ​https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52884).

This is causing the Windows test builds to fail.

check-latest was only ever meant to be a temporary band-aid, and was added when the minimum version of Node.js was bumped. The latest version at that time was used, and some of the GitHub Action runners did not yet have the correct version. This ensured a version that met the new engines requirements was reliably installed.
