Breaking change - Node.js 4.4.1 (LTS) x86 is default Node.js installation

Starting from this update Node.js LTS x86 (currently 4.4.1) will be installed by default on build workers. Before this update there was Node.js 0.12.7 x86 installed by default.

If your project depends on Node.js 0.12.x you can add the following PS command to install section of appveyor.yml (or on UI if you don’t use YML):

install:
  - ps: Install-Product node 0.12
