Updates the node upgrade doc to take path changes into account as well as to incorporate the new `get-patch` script which simplifies work significantly.
Devs can still locally override or add settings by adding lines after
the `import` statement in args.gn.
This will help make sure that everyone has a common set of build args,
and will allow us to update everyone's build args in git.
