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.

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.
