Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of _Node.js_ as _Node.js'_ and other times as _Node.js's_. The former conforms with some generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style). Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to eliminate the possessive form where possible. This is one of those examples.

Add a markdown lint rule to prohibit "Node.js'" and "Node.js's". Instead, of "Node.js' module system", use "the Node.js module system". Refs: nodejs#31748 (comment) PR-URL: nodejs#31862 Reviewed-By: Daijiro Wachi <daijiro.wachi@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Ruben Bridgewater <ruben@bridgewater.de>

Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of Node.js as
Node.js' and other times as Node.js's. The former conforms with some
generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while
the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).
Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is
correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and
sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to
eliminate the possessive form where possible.
This pull request contains the remaining instances. The others were handled in #31713.
