node cli: add `--expose-gc` flag available to `NODE

This commits allows users to send --expose-gc via NODE_OPTIONS environment variable.

NODE_OPTIONS='--expose-gc' node
node: --expose-gc is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS

With https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/53078#discussion_r1609831586 in mind, is there a legitimate use case for the flag?
