n-api: add support for abi stable module API
Add support for abi stable module API (N-API) as "Experimental feature". The goal of this API is to provide a stable Node API for native module developers. N-API aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees across different Node versions and also across different Node VMs - allowing N-API enabled native modules to just work across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilation. A more detailed introduction is provided in: https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/005-ABI-Stable-Module-API.md and https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/blob/doc/VM%20Summit.pdf. The feature, during its experimental state, will be guarded by a runtime flag "--napi-modules". Only when this flag is added to the command line will N-API modules along with regular non N-API modules be supported. The API is defined by the methods in "src/node_api.h" and "src/node_api_types.h". This is the best starting point to review the API surface. More documentation will f...
