Centralize Node.js version selection on 24.22.1 (#57168)

## What changed

- Add `.nvmrc` pinning Node.js to `24.22.1` and raise the root package's minimum Node.js version to match.
- Use `.nvmrc` in repository checks, SDK CI, and npm packaging and publishing workflows.
- Update MCP conformance instructions to use the repository's pinned Node.js version.
