Jason Ginchereau	56e881d0b0	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 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.

n-api: refactor napi_addon_register_func

As per discussion in abi-stable-node:
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/issues/256,
take a refactor to napi_addon_register_func such that
the result from the register function is assigned to
the module exports property. By making this change,
native module can be agnostic about which type of
module the environment supports.

test,doc: make module name match gyp target name

Currently the nm_modname does not match the file name of the resulting
module. In fact, the nm_modname is pretty arbitrary. This seeks to
introduce some consistency into the nm_modname property by having the
name of the module appear in exactly one place: the "target_name"
property of the gyp target that builds the module.

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 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.
