doc: revert anachronistic 'node:' module require()s in API history notes

Support for the 'node:' prefixed builtin module namespace was introduced for `require()` expressions in Node v16.0.0, and backported to v14.18.0. This was never supported in Node v15.x or chronologically older. All of the current API history notes in the docs using 'node:' prefixed module `require()`s happen to be documenting changes in Node versions from before the time when support was first introduced. This commit reverts those `require()`s in the history notes to be un-prefixed. (They were incorrect as written; The prefixed `require()`s would not work for those older Node versions.) This change prevents the API history notes from inaccurately implying 'node:' prefixed builtin modules were introduced many Node versions ago, or were `require()`-able with the 'node:' prefix in those Node versions.
