Summary: CircleCI's Windows executor currently ships with a pre-LTS release of Node v12, breaking our Windows jobs ([example](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/facebook/react-native/9280/workflows/21e6e59c-d853-47a1-af62-1368c8ce10ce/jobs/203983)) following facebook#30637, ultimately due to jestjs/jest#10685 dropping support for non-LTS versions in the Node v12 release line. Luckily, the Windows executor [does ship with nvm](circleci/circleci-docs#3733) so we can use that to install a desired Node version. Rather than just pinning a later v12 release that is LTS, we align the Windows config with the one for non-Windows jobs (in the `nodelts` executor) by running against the latest available Node v14 release.

[nvm-windows has no functionality to install the latest version of a release line](coreybutler/nvm-windows#156) so we're forced to specify an exact version, which will need to be bumped manually in the future. This isn't great, but IMO it's no worse than the current situation, where we use whichever stale version of Node happens to be bundled with the Windows CircleCI executor.
