Migrate off of Macstadium vsphere #2315

Description

@AshCripps

In the vsphere we currently have 6 active machines - 2 Release (10.10 and 10.11) and 4 test (2 10.10 and 2 10.11).

The current issue is that Orka doesn't support anything older than 10.13 as shown below:

Ash,

Unfortunately, we don’t currently support any macOS older than High Sierra 10.13 on Orka.  Our team spent considerable time attempting to make older macOS releases work on Orka but encountered significant challenges whereupon it was determined that a lower-level rewrite that was in the works made more sense. 

This is called the, “Bring your own image” model, and we are actively developing it but it is not scheduled for release in the next sprint due May 11.  I presume not being able to support these older instances is a deal breaker with regard to bringing the entire build apparatus over to Orka? 

So we have two options:

  1. Wait for the new model to be released in May and hopefully add the machines back that way.
  2. Stop using the machines (asides from tests only the 10.10 machine is used to build release sources but only on 10.x)

Thought @nodejs/build? Im personally for moving off these old machines.
