As per #62764

FYI @nodejs/tsc - I've listed the version associated with the versions of Alpine we currently build against.

This change would be highly desirable from the point of view of the @nodejs/docker team as node:alpine images are being published on Docker official images in the node Docker repo.

The mismatch between "official" status on Docker hub and "Experimental" status in Node.js was raised in 2023 in nodejs/docker-node#2011 by @BethGriggs and remains to this day unresolved.

Confidence would be increased if there were also an Alpine team established, as proposed in nodejs/admin#1065 so that Alpine / musl issues have a group of skilled users available to respond.

node:alpine x64 images have been in widespread usage for a number of years.
