Increase broad max-old-space-size to 10 GB
What does this MR do and why?
This MR increases the standard max-old-space-size (aka. basically the available heap size for Node) in CI from 5 to 10 GB. This is moreso a precaution, so we give node scripts more memory since we have 16 GB available by default. That should prevent scripts in jobs from being bottlenecked by memory; and if that’s the case, reduce the CPU load due to garbage collection.
This is a baseline change and does not affect the specific increases of max-old-space-size in MRs like these:
