Breaks downloadable source tarball builds as we remove some files prior
to creating a tarball but those files are included in the comprehensive
list of dependencies listed in .deps.

* Get rid of recursive `make` when building the node binary. An earlier
commit makes GYP write out rules that we can use for proper dependency
tracking.
* Use module name 'binding' in addons.md and addons-napi/*/binding.gyp.
This massively simplifies the logic for generating the build rules.
* Check in auto-generated add-on tests from `doc/api/addons.md`. The
files change rarely and generating them dynamically causes no end of
race conditions and special-casing during the build.

n-api uses size_t for the size of strings when specifying
string lengths. V8 only supports a size of int. Add
a check so that an error will be returned if the user
passes in a string with a size larger than will fit into
an int.

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.

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.

- Add separate APIs for creating different kinds of numbers,
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.

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.

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.

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.
