Examples in the N-API doc used a mix of nullptr and NULL.
We should be consistent and because N-API is a 'C' API I believe
using NULL is better. This will avoid any potential confusion
as to whether N-API can be used with plain C.

Add a utility functions for addons to use when they need
a reference to the current event loop.
While the libuv API is not directly part of N-API, it
provides a quite stable C API as well, and is tightly
integrated with Node itself.
As a particular use case, without access to the event loop
it is hard to do something interesting from inside a N-API
finalizer function, since calls into JS and therefore virtually
all other N-API functions are not allowed.

The binding testing napi_wrap() creates references to primitives passed
into the binding in its second parameter. This is unnecessary and not
at all the point of the test. Additionally, creating persistent
references to primitive values may not be supported by all VMs, since
primitives are best persisted in their native form.
Instead, the point of the test is to make sure that the finalize
callback gets called when it should get called, that it gets called
with the correct pointer, and that it does not get called when it
should not get called. Creating persistent references is not necessary
for verifying this.

Promise is implemented as a pair of objects. `napi_create_promise()`
returns both a JavaScript promise and a newly allocated "deferred" in
its out-params. The deferred is linked to the promise such that the
deferred can be passed to `napi_resolve_deferred()` or
`napi_reject_deferred()` to reject/resolve the promise.
`napi_is_promise()` can be used to check if a `napi_value` is a native
promise - that is, a promise created by the underlying engine, rather
than a pure JS implementation of a promise.

because creating a V8 number value from an integer is faster
than creating one from a double.
- When getting number values, avoid getting the current context
because the context will not actually be used and is expensive
to obtain.
- When creating values, don't use v8::TryCatch (NAPI_PREAMBLE),
because these functions have no possibility of executing JS code.
