n-api: add generic finalizer callback

Add `napi_add_finalizer()`, which provides the ability to attach data
to an arbitrary object and be notified when that object is garbage-
collected so as to have an opportunity to delete the data previously
attached.

This differs from `napi_wrap()` in that it does not use up the private
slot on the object, and is therefore neither removable, nor retrievable
after the call to `napi_add_finalizer()`. It is assumed that the data
is accessible by other means, yet it must be tied to the lifetime of
the object. This is the case for data passed to a dynamically created
function which is itself heap-allocated and must therefore be freed
along with the function.

+   attached.
+ - `[in] native_object`: The native data that will be attached to the JavaScript
+   object.
+ - `[in] finalize_cb`: Native callback that will be used to free the
+   native data when the JavaScript object is ready for garbage-collection.
+ - `[in] finalize_hint`: Optional contextual hint that is passed to the
+   finalize callback.
+ - `[out] result`: Optional reference to the JavaScript object.

+Returns `napi_ok` if the API succeeded.
+
+Adds a `napi_finalize` callback which will be called when the JavaScript object
+in `js_object` is ready for garbage collection. This API is similar to
+`napi_wrap()` except that
+* the native data cannot be retrieved later using `napi_unwrap()`,
+* nor can it be removed later using `napi_remove_wrap()`, and
+* the API can be called multiple times with different data items in order to
+  attach each of them to the JavaScript object.
+
+*Caution*: The optional returned reference (if obtained) should be deleted via
+[`napi_delete_reference`][] ONLY in response to the finalize callback
+invocation. If it is deleted before then, then the finalize callback may never
+be invoked. Therefore, when obtaining a reference a finalize callback is also
+required in order to enable correct disposal of the reference.
