Sp-dev-docs: This does not work with latest Node LTS version

[jasonjoh]

While your link goes to the v8.x distro, the text basically says to install "NodeJS LTS version". The LTS version as of this post is 10.14.2.

With any version over 8, gulp commands generate the error:

Error: Your dev environment is running NodeJS version v10.14.2 which does not meet the requirements for running this tool. This tool requires a version of NodeJS that matches >=8.9.4 <9.0.0

Both 8 and 10 are LTS versions (https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule) getting active development at the moment. I've clarified the wording to note that only 8 is supported at this point.
