Check Node version early

[gaearon]

We need to add better Node version checks. The current one doesn’t cover all requirements (like Node >= 8.9.0).

@gaearon, are the checks supposed to be changed under engines in package.json files?

Do I understand it correctly? If yes, I'd be happy to contribute.
