Patch to change which node port rubygem-execjs depends on

devel/rubygem-execjs has a hardcoded dependency on www/node.  Node develops multiple versions simultaneously and the version in www/node is not compatible with other popular Node applications like Ghost.  And node does not support multiple coexisting versions at present.

This patch adds an option to select a node version to have as a runtime dependency (preserving the existing www/node as the default).

It is taken more or less straight from www/npm, which does actually support a few more options.  (There are something like six different node versions in the ports tree.)  The ones in this patch are the ones most likely to be of interest to execjs users.
