n-api: add API for asynchronous functions
Bundle a `uv_async_t`, a `uv_idle_t`, a `uv_mutex_t`, a `uv_cond_t`, and a `v8::Persistent<v8::Function>` to make it possible to call into JS from another thread. The API accepts a void data pointer and a callback which will be invoked on the loop thread and which will receive the `napi_value` representing the JavaScript function to call so as to perform the call into JS. The callback is run inside a `node::CallbackScope`. A `std::queue<void*>` is used to store calls from the secondary threads, and an idle loop is started by the `uv_async_t` callback on the loop thread to drain the queue, calling into JS with each item. Items can be added to the queue blockingly or non-blockingly. The thread-safe function can be referenced or unreferenced, with the same semantics as libuv handles.
