npm install fails even after adding packages missing from devcontainer setup

I discovered these to be necessary as I created a codespace and found that npm install failed until all of these were installed.

sudo apt install libpixman-1-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev

After which, running npm install still errors.

If I switch node to v20 with nvm install 20 && nvm use 20 && npm install, npm install completes.

Our instructions in the README are outdated. It should generally be enough to run nvm install inside the dev container to install the required node version (as per .nvmrc).

There's a way to do this postAttach so that it happens automatically when a devcontainer is started (not created), but I'd have to look into that.
