tools: add NODE_TEST_NO_INTERNET to the doc builder

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/joyeecheung/no-internet into master

At the moment the doc builder tries to access the internet for CHANGELOG information and only falls back to local sources after the connection fails or a 5 second timeout. This means that the doc building could take at least 7 minutes on a machine with hijacked connection to Github for useless network attempts. This patch adds a NODE_TEST_NO_INTERNET environment variable to directly bypass these attempts so that docs can be built in reasonable time on a machine like that.

Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/29918
