On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This causes many compiled addons to break when node.exe or iojs.exe are
renamed, because when the binary has been renamed the addon DLL can't
find the (right) .exe file to load its imports from.
This patch gives compiled addon developers an option to overcome this
restriction by compiling a delay-load hook into their binary. The
delay-load hook ensures that whenever a module tries to load imports
from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just look at the process image, thereby
making the addon work regardless of what name the node/iojs binary has.
To enable this feature, the addon developer must set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in their binding.gyp file, like
this:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

The delay-load hook that was landed in 3d46fef to make compiled addons
work on Windows regardless of the iojs.exe/node.exe filename causes
issues with a small amount of compiled addons.
Therefore this patch makes it an opt-in feature. An addon may set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in its binding.gyp to enable this
feature.
Example:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This makes it impossible to rename node.exe or iojs.exe, because when
that happens the module can't find its dependencies.
With this patch, a delay-load hook is added to all modules that are
compiled with node-gyp. The delay-load hook ensures that whenever a
module tries to load imports from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just refer
back to the process image, thus making it possible to rename the
iojs/node binary.

on windows") due to the then-website lacking the requisite SHASUMS.txt
or SHASUMS256.txt files. The website has a SHASUMS256.txt now so start
checksumming the download again.
