Fix qa-frontend-node:latest CI build

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-fix-qa-frontend-node-latest into master

What does this MR do and why?

Due to changes in node v17+ to work with OpenSSL v3.0, MD4/MD5 hash algorithms no longer can be used out-of-the-box with Webpack (https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/14532).

We can't switch to another hash algorithm like SHA256 until we upgrade to Webpack v5 (#350120 (closed)), but we can make the latest node version work by specifying --openssl-legacy-provider in NODE_OPTIONS.

We use a separate build script (webpack-prod-node-latest) because older versions of node will fail if --openssl-legacy-provider is used.

Closes #346110 (closed)

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Install the latest Node version (e.g. nvm install 17.3.1)
  2. Run yarn run webpack-prod-node-latest
