node:10.0 has NPM 5.6.0, should have 5.8.0

According to the v10 changelog, Node v10.0 should come with NPM 5.8.0, which is great because that version supports the npm ci command.

However, the current node:10.0 image seems to still have NP 5.6.0 for some reason:

$ docker run -it node:10.0 npm --version
5.6.0

NPM 6 has been released a week ago. https://blog.npmjs.org/post/173260195980/announcing-npm6

I think the node image should come with npm 6

We will never update npm, we use the one that comes with node.

This is an issue with the packaged npm in node, not the docker image.

$ nvm i 10
