fix(tools.func): upgrade Node.js minor/patch on same major version

In setup_nodejs() Scenario 1 (major version already matches), only npm
was refreshed - apt never upgraded the nodejs package itself. This left
existing LXCs stuck on older minor releases (e.g. 22.13.1) even though
NodeSource ships newer ones (e.g. 22.19+).

Fix: add pt-get install -y --only-upgrade nodejs before the npm pin
so the latest minor/patch from the already-configured NodeSource repo is
always installed.

Fixes: seerr update failing with ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_ENGINE because
seerr 3.2.0 requires Node >=22.19.0 but installed was v22.13.1 (#13955)
