debug_traceTransaction may crash on Node.js v12

[MicaiahReid]

Node.js v12 doesn't handle memory as well as 14+ and may crash computing very large debug_traceTransaction results

Node.js v12 went End-of-Life on 30 April 2022.

@naddison36 "End of Life" doesn't mean Node v12 stops working; it just means Node v12 is not actively maintained and that new releases are very unlikely (except for major security vulnerabilities). Node v12 is still usable (though it really shouldn't be used) and many devs need and appreciate extended support.

Ganache will continue to support Node v12 at least until truffle drops support for it. We will likely drop support shortly after Truffle drops support.

ok, lets close this ticket when truffle drops support for Node v12
