Adds a Node.js section to Switching your site's backend, which previously only covered PHP/PHP-FPM and the LiteSpeed/OLS add-on tier.

What changed

Intro and Steps now mention Node18/Node20/Node22 alongside PHP and LiteSpeed in the Container Type dropdown.
New ## Node.js section: the npm start model, a caution that switching an existing PHP/WordPress site to Node does not run PHP, the shared PHP-FPM/LiteSpeed placement toggle not applying to Node, the auto-raised 512 MB memory floor, and the optional WebSocket / real-time support checkbox.
New screenshot (whp-sites-edit-node.png) of the Edit Site modal with Container Type = Node22, showing Memory per Container auto-bumped to 512 MB. Captured read-only via a new tools/screenshots/capture-sites-backend.ts (modeled on capture-dns.ts), redacted per house rules.
Two new Troubleshooting entries (insufficient resources for Node, 502 after switching) and a cross-link to Create a site for file layout/start-command details.

Verification

Walked the live WHP demo panel (Sites → Edit Site, and the "What are you building?" Node.js app intent picker on Create New Site) to confirm the dropdown options, the memory auto-adjust, and the WebSocket checkbox.
Cross-checked against the WHP codebase (container_types seed data, site_intent.php, sites-forms.js) for the Node18/20/22 version list and the standalone-placement/memory-floor behavior.
npm run build passes clean (42 pages, no broken links/anchors).

Document Node.js as a backend option when switching a site's container type 113c795c83

The "Switching your site's backend" page only covered PHP/PHP-FPM and the
LiteSpeed/OLS add-on tier. Node18/Node20/Node22 are also selectable in the
same Container Type dropdown, but weren't mentioned. Adds a Node.js section
covering the npm-start model, the auto-raised 512 MB memory floor, the
WebSocket/real-time checkbox, and that Node containers skip the shared
PHP-FPM/LiteSpeed placement choice — plus a capture script and screenshot
of the Edit Site modal with Node22 selected.
