would you be open to support node[[X].Y] as target to make GitHub Action build artifacts smaller?

[iamstarkov]

in the light of 1246 I discovered default target is es2025 and it only es* targets are expected. underlying webpack does support node* as a target, but ncc restricts it. but using es version as a target doesn't make sense for nodejs versions, because es support is fragmented.

I'd like to relax es* only target restriction to include node* as well, to make GitHub Action build artifacts smaller by not transpiling everything to es2015 but rather only to what's missing in node20 for example

The default is actually es2015.

I think adding support for target.startsWith('node') sounds like a good idea.

Its already merging with node14 here:

ncc/src/index.js

Line 284 in 3496356

target: target ? ["node14", target] : "node14",

Feel free to add a PR with a test, thanks!

I'll give it a go
