Description

Previously Docker image Node.js version updates have been documented in the Miscellaneous category.

Node version updates are important information for end users, as major Node releases usually have breaking changes; I would've liked to find (at a glance) which Docker image version I need to upgrade to for v24 compatibility.

Add "Miscellaneous" as a category to 1.57 before browser versions with an upgrade explanation:

### Miscellaneous

- Playwright docker images switched from Node.js v22 to Node.js v24 LTS.

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/docs/src/release-notes-js.md?plain=1#L117-L119

 ### New APIs
 
 - New property [`property: TestConfig.tag`] adds a tag to all tests in this run. This is useful when using [merge-reports](./test-sharding.md#merging-reports-from-multiple-shards).
 - [`event: Worker.console`] event is emitted when JavaScript within the worker calls one of console API methods, e.g. console.log or console.dir. [`method: Worker.waitForEvent`] can be used to wait for it.
 - [`method: Locator.description`] returns locator description previously set with [`method: Locator.describe`], and [`method: Locator.toString`] now uses the description when available.
 - New option [`option: Locator.click.steps`] in [`method: Locator.click`] and [`method: Locator.dragTo`] that configures the number of `mousemove` events emitted while moving the mouse pointer to the target element.
 - Network requests issued by [Service Workers](./service-workers.md#network-events-and-routing) are now reported and can be routed through the [BrowserContext](./api/class-browsercontext.md), only in Chromium. You can opt out using the `PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_NETWORK` environment variable.
 - Console messages from Service Workers are dispatched through [`event: Worker.console`]. You can opt out of this using the `PLAYWRIGHT_DISABLE_SERVICE_WORKER_CONSOLE` environment variable.
 
+ ### Miscellaneous
+
+ - Playwright docker images switched from Node.js v22 to Node.js v24 LTS.
 
 ### Browser Versions
 
 - Chromium 143.0.7499.4
 - Mozilla Firefox 144.0.2
 - WebKit 26.0
