What happened?

Upgraded to V9. Attempted to run the tests and was presented with an error. SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:events' does not provide an export named 'addAbortListener'

What is your expected behavior?

Since nodejs v18 is supported I would have expected it to work. Doing a little digging I found events.addAbortListener(signal, listener) was added as an experimental feature in Added in: v20.5.0, v18.18.0. Node 18 versions under v18.18.0 won't currently work.

How to reproduce the bug.

I can reproduce the issue with the jasmine boilerplate project. https://github.com/webdriverio/jasmine-boilerplate
npm i then npm run test:local. Make sure you have nodejs v18.16.0 installed.
