[js] Update docs re v8 support

We require at least node v6 (which means v8 v5.0) since
7ba19e758632c8aeddcf82ddf48a05f34e218bc9 so updated the manual to
reflect this.

-<p>The V8 code that SWIG generates should work with most versions from 3.11.10.
-However, the only early version that receives some testing is 3.14.5, which is
-still shipped with Ubuntu for some reason. Other than that it's probably safer
-to assume that versions earlier than 5.0 are no longer supported. Keep in mind
-that these are V8 versions, not Node.js. To give some perspective, Node.js v6.0

-determine the V8 version it is compiling for.  For versions &lt; 4.3.10, you

-constant, but the constant is read as pairs of decimal digits, so for V8
-3.25.30 use constant 0x032530.  This scheme can't represent components &gt; 99,
-but this constant is only useful for V8 &lt; 4.3.10, and no V8 versions from
-that era had a component &gt; 99.  For example:</p>
