This is a special release to fix potentially Semver-Major regression that was released in v9.6.0

### Notable Changes

- **events**:
  - `events.usingDomains` being set to `false` by default was removed in 9.6.0 which was a change in behavior compares to 9.5.0. This behavior change has been reverted and the `events` object now has `usingDomains` preset to `false`, which is the behavior in 9.x prior to 9.6.0 (Myles Borins) [#18944](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/18944)
