install-node-and-npm - Use local binary archive

[venkateshkolisetty-ctl]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

What is the current behavior?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Using <goal>install-node-and-npm</goal> and <nodeVersion>.
This is downloading from https://nodejs.org/dist

What is the expected behavior?

Take the binary file from repository.
Choose from a local file that will be available in the repository.

I have archives inside repository as

node-binary
    /v18.16.0
        /node-v18.16.0.tar.gz
        /node-v18.16.0-win-x64.zip

To make the plugin use local files instead of fetching from internet, I tried below configuration

<execution>
  <id>install-node-and-npm</id>
  <goals>
    <goal>install-node-and-npm</goal>
  </goals>
  <configuration>
    <nodeVersion>v18.16.0</nodeVersion>
    <nodeDownloadRoot>${project.baseUri}/node-binary/</nodeDownloadRoot>
  </configuration>
</execution>

This seems to be working in Windows
