Summary
When changing the node version from e.g. v14 to v18 with provided npm, then npm fails with the following exception:
The reason is, that the provided npm is left as a mixture of the old provided npm version and the new npm version.
This PR removes the old node installation (including node_modules and npm, npm.cmd, npx, npx.cmd) entirely, so that only the new files for npm are there in the end.
This fixes #994.
Tests and Documentation
I created a new integration test "node-provided-npm-upgrades".
