BUGFIX. Wrong 'node' and 'deploy' workflows when using node versions >14

Error: - In the `node` workflow, the `npm ci` command does not work, it needs the `package-lock.json` file to work, but this file is removed by the npm `preinstall` script. Solution: - Use in workflows the `npm install` command instead of `npm ci`. The `npm install` automatically runs the npm `preinstall` script which already does a clean install, removing the `node_modules` folder and the `package-lock.json` file. - Use `node` version 14 for the project, the following versions still do not work.
