Description
If no shasum is provided the cookbook should attempt to fetch the SHASUMS.txt file, parse that file, and determine the shasum automatically. This would make it much easier to specify a version to install. We're doing this in the tomcat cookbook right now and it's working nicely.

Research direction
Start by locating the nodejs cookbook entry point that fetches source archives and compare its current shasum handling with the tomcat cookbook approach mentioned in the issue. Use SHASUMS.txt as the input to parse and select the version's checksum when none is supplied; done means a version can be installed without explicitly specifying a shasum.
