[v12.x] node-api: allow retrieval of add-on file name #37328

Commits on Mar 17, 2021

  1. node-api: allow retrieval of add-on file name

    Unlike JS-only modules, native add-ons are always associated with a
    dynamic shared object from which they are loaded. Being able to
    retrieve its absolute path is important to native-only add-ons, i.e.
    add-ons that are not themselves being loaded from a JS-only module
    located in the same package as the native add-on itself.
    
    Currently, the file name is obtained at environment construction time
    from the JS `module.filename`. Nevertheless, the presence of `module`
    is not required, because the file name could also be passed in via a
    private property added onto `exports` from the `process.dlopen`
    binding.
    
    As an attempt at future-proofing, the file name is provided as a URL,
    i.e. prefixed with the `file://` protocol.
