As of yesterday afternoon 4.x is no longer used.
Due to the dependencies, and due to the fact that node.js 4.x LTS ends next
month, I moved the "oldest" make check job to use nodejs 6.x (ubuntu-xenial)
and the current one uses 8.x (ubuntu-artful) - this is the one that runs make
check, make cross, ubsan, cppcheck, etc.
We still need to modernize the code/test for js and nodejs however.---
