Node.js API v18.x does not mark 18 LTS but does mark 12 LTS

Description of the problem

Under "Other versions", "18.x" is not "18.x LTS" but should be.
"12.x LTS" should be just "12.x".

Currently the header shows v18.12.0. Once it's updated to v18.12.1, it'll be interesting to check again and see if the issue resolves itself (18.12.0 is the first LTS release of the 18.x series).

Both components of this issue are resolved now that the header says 18.12.1.

It could be that the documentation is being built before the LTS status is updated. I notice that 12.x was only marked end of life 9 days ago (see #45186), even though support was only planned until 30 April 2022.

Does it make sense to mark a release LTS based solely on date, before the first release after the LTS date? If not, and the build script pulls its information from the changelog, then the build script can't see the LTS status before it's published.

Maybe, rather than applying regular expressions to the changelog, it could source the LTS status from https://github.com/nodejs/Release/blob/main/schedule.json
