8ab8c33985 n-api: enable napi_wrap() to work with any object
Previously, napi_wrap() would only work with objects created from a
constructor returned by napi_define_class(). While the N-API team
was aware of this limitation, it was not clearly documented and is
likely to cause confusion anyway. It's much simpler if addons are
allowed to use any JS object. Also, the specific behavior of the
limitation is difficult to reimplement on other VMs that work
differently from V8.

V8 requires object internal fields to be declared on the object
prototype (which napi_define_class() used to do). Since it's too
late to modify the object prototype by the time napi_wrap() is
called, napi_wrap() now inserts a new object (with the internal
field) into the supplied object's prototype chain. Then it can be
retrieved from there later by napi_unwrap().

This change also includes improvements to the documentation for
napi_create_external(), partly to explain how it is different from
napi_wrap().

bb91879f31 test: Make N-API weak-ref GC tests asynchronous
One of the N-API weak-reference test cases already had to be made
asynchronous to handle different behavior in a newer V8 version:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12864
When porting N-API to Node-ChakraCore, we found more of the test
cases needed similar treatment:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore/issues/246 So to make
thes tests more robust (and avoid having differences in the test code
for Node-ChakraCore), I am refactoring the tests in this file to
insert a `setImmedate()` callback before every call to `gc()` and
assertions about the effects of the GC.

2e3fef7628 n-api: Handle fatal exception in async callback
- Create a handle scope before invoking the async completion
   callback, because it is basically always needed, easy for user
   code to forget, and this makes it more consistent with ordinary
   N-API function callbacks.

 - Check for an unhandled JS exception after invoking an async
   completion callback, and report it via `node::FatalException()`.

 - Add a corresponding test case for an exception in async callback.

Previously, any unhandled JS exception thrown from a
`napi_async_complete_callback` would be silently ignored. Among other
things this meant assertions in some test cases could be undetected.

n-api: Enable scope and ref APIs during exception
N-API is somewhat strict about blocking calls to many APIs while there
is a pending exception. The NAPI_PREAMBLE macro at the beginning of
many API implementations checks for a pending exception. However, a
subset of the APIs (which don't call back into JavaScript) still need
to work while in a pending-exception state. This changes the reference
APIs (equivalent to v8::Persistent) and handle scope APIs so that they
can be used for cleanup up while an exception is pending.

We may decide to similarly enable a few other APIs later, (which would
be a non-breaking change) but we know at least these are needed now
to unblock some specific scenarios.

n-api: tighten null-checking and clean up last error
We left out null-checks for many of the parameters passed to our APIs.
In particular, arguments of type `napi_value` were often accepted
without a null-check, even though they should never be null.

Additionally, many APIs simply returned `napi_ok` on success. This
leaves in place an error that may have occurred in a previous N-API
call. Others (those which perform `NAPI_PREAMBLE(env)` at the top)
OTOH explicitly clear the last error before proceeding. With this
modification all APIs explicitly clear the last error on success.

468275ac79 n-api: remove napi_get_value_string_length()
This API doesn't serve much purpose, and is only likely to cause
confusion and bugs. The intention was that this would return the
number of characters in a string independent of encoding, but
that's not generally useful. In almost all cases, one of the
encoding-specific napi_get_value_string_* APIs is more correct.
(Pass a null buffer if only the encoded length is desired.)

Anyway the current implementation of napi_get_value_string_length()
is technically wrong: it returns the number of 2-byte code units of
the UTF-16 encoding, but there are actually some characters that
are encoded as two UTF-16 code units.

Note the JavaScript String.prototype.length property returns the
number of UTF-16 code units, which may be different from the number
of characters. So, getting the true character count is not common
with JavaScript, and is probably best left to specialized
internationalization libraries.

n-api: implement async helper methods
Based on the async methods we had in abi-stable-node before the napi
feature landed in node/master. Changed this set of APIs to handle
error cases and removed a lot of the extra methods we had for setting
all the pieces of napi_work opting instead to pass all of those as
arguments to napi_create_async_work as none of those parameters are
optional except for the complete callback, anyway.

Renamed the napi_work struct to napi_async_work and replace the
struct itself with a class which can better encapsulate the object
lifetime and uv_work_t that we're trying to wrap anyway.

Added a napi_async_callback type for the async helper callbacks
instead of taking raw function pointers and make this callback take a
napi_env parameter as well as the void* data it was already taking.

Call the complete handler for the async work item with a napi_status
code translated from the uvlib error code.

The execute callback is required for napi_create_async_work, though
complete callback is still optional.

Also added some async unit tests for addons-napi based on the
addons/async_hello_world test.

n-api: change napi_callback to return napi_value
Change `napi_callback` to return `napi_value` directly instead of
requiring `napi_set_return_value`.

When we invoke the callback, we will check the return value and
call `SetReturnValue` ourselves. If the callback returns `NULL`,
we don't set the return value in v8 which would have the same
effect as previously if the callback didn't call
`napi_set_return_value`. Seems to be a more natural way
to handle return values from callbacks. As a consequence,
remove `napi_set_return_value`.

Add a `napi_value` to `napi_property_descriptor` to support string
values which couldn't be passed in the `utf8name` parameter or
symbols as property names. Class names, however, cannot be symbols
so this `napi_value` must be a string type in that case.

Remove all of the `napi_callback_info` helpers except for
`napi_get_cb_info` and make all the parameters to
`napi_get_cb_info` optional except for argc.

Update all the test collateral according to these changes.
Also add `test/addons-napi/common.h` to house some common macros
for wrapping N-API calls and error handling.

2. We instantiate one struct napi_env__ during module registration and
we pass it into the FunctionCallbackInfo for all subsequent entries into
N-API when we create functions/accessors/finalizers.

Once module unloading will be supported we shall have to delete the
napi_env we create during module init.

There is a clear separation between public and private API wrt. env:

1. Public APIs assert that env is not nullptr as their first action.

2. Private APIs need not validate env. They assume it's not nullptr.

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

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 follow.

In addition to the implementation of the API using V8, which is included
in this PR, the API has also been validated against chakracore and that
port is available in
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/api-prototype-chakracore-8.x.

The current plan is to provide N-API support in versions 8.X and 6.X
directly. For older versions, such as 4.X or pre N-API versions of 6.X,
we plan to create an external npm module to provide a migration path
that will allow modules targeting older Node.js versions to use the API,
albeit without getting the advantage of not having to recompile.

In addition, we also plan an external npm package with C++ sugar to
simplify the use of the API. The sugar will be in-line only and will
only use the exported N-API methods but is not part of the N-API
itself. The current version is in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-api.
