Notes on v11.10.0:
- it does support address@hidden
- it ships with libuv 1.26.0 (1.24.0 in guix)
- some previously bundled deps are absent from tarball
- NODE_EXPERIMENTAL_HTTP is a no-op / always defined

There is an issue with the alternative http parser, `llhttp`. The 
choice of parser is at runtime, and one compile flag, 
--shared-http-parser, configures both. Building fails with:

```

../src/http_parser_adaptor.h:5:21: fatal error: llhttp.h: No such 
file or directory
```

AFAIU, either llhttp has to be made a separate package and listed 
in inputs, or http-parser linked statically. Or should the missing 
-I../deps/llhttp/include argument be passed here somehow -- maybe 
patching node.gypi?

I have not tried to build 10.15.1(LTS), which presumably has the 
same issues as in #32095.

Also, should previous version branches (8.x, 9.x) be kept in guix?

In the meantime, these minor updates work fine:
