Introduces macros `NODE_MODULE_INITIALIZER` which expands to the name
of the special symbol that process.dlopen() will look for to initialize
an addon, and `NODE_MODULE_INIT()` which creates the boilerplate for
a context-aware module which can be loaded multiple times via the
special symbol mechanism.
Additionally, provides an example of using the new macro to construct
an addon which stores per-addon-instance data in a heap-allocated
structure that gets passed to each binding, rather than in a collection
of global static variables.

* Get rid of recursive `make` when building the node binary. An earlier
commit makes GYP write out rules that we can use for proper dependency
tracking.
* Use module name 'binding' in addons.md and addons-napi/*/binding.gyp.
This massively simplifies the logic for generating the build rules.
* Check in auto-generated add-on tests from `doc/api/addons.md`. The
files change rarely and generating them dynamically causes no end of
race conditions and special-casing during the build.

The current implementation of addon-verify.js is including the code
for the "Function arguments" section in test/addons/01_callbacks and
there is no directory generated or the "Function arguments section".
This continues and leads to the last section, "AtExit", code to be
excluded. There is an test/addons/07_atexit_hooks but it contains code
from the "Passing wrapped objects around" section.
This commit modifies addon-verify to associate headers with code and
then iterates over the set and generates the files as a separate step.
