This patch adds snapshot support to single executable applications.
To build a snapshot from the main script when preparing the
blob that will be injected into the single executable application,
add `"useSnapshot": true` to the configuration passed to
`--experimental-sea-config`. For example:
```
{
"main": "snapshot.js",
"output": "sea-prep.blob",
"useSnapshot": true
}
```
The main script used to build the snapshot must invoke
`v8.startupSnapshot.setDeserializeMainFunction()` to configure the
entry point. The generated startup snapshot would be part of the
preparation blob and get injected into the final executable.
When the single executable application is launched, instead of running
the `main` script from scratch, Node.js would instead deserialize the
snapshot to get to the state initialized during build-time directly.

- Run the embedder entry point directly through
runEmbedderEntryPoint(), instead of going through another
JS -> C++ trip through the function returned by
getEmbedderEntryFunction()
- For --build-snapshot, read the snapshot script code directly in C++
and pass it to SnapshotBuilder::Generate(), this makes the entry point
more explicit instead of hiding it in JS land, and also makes it
possible to invoke SnapshotBuilder::Generate() internally to create
a custom snapshot.
- Previously we used process.execPath for the embedder to create
__filename and __dirname in the snapshot builder script while using
process.argv[1] for --build-snapshot (where it's always set) which
results in inconsistencies. We now require the embedder to also set
args[1] when creating the Environment if they intend to run snapshot
scripts with a context that contains __filename and __dirname, which
would be derived from args[1]. If they prefer not to include
build-time paths in the snapshot, we now provide
node::GetAnonymousMainPath() as an alternative.

Previously, the `require()` function exposed to the embedded SEA code
was calling the internal `require()` function if the module name
belonged to the list of public core modules but the internal `require()`
function does not support loading modules with the "node:" prefix, so
this change forwards the calls to another `require()` function that
supports this.

Since SEA is very similar in principle to embedding functionality,
it makes sense to share code paths where possible. This commit does
so and addresses a `TODO` while doing so.
It also adds a utility to directly run CJS code to the embedder
startup callback, which comes in handy for this purpose.
Finally, this commit is breaking because it aligns the behavior
of `require()`ing internal modules; previously, embedders could
use the `require` function that they received to do so.
(If this is not considered breaking because accessing internals
is not covered by the API, then this would need ABI compatibility
patches for becoming fully non-breaking.)

For the initial iteration, only the default resolver can be
serialized/deserialized. If `dns.setServers()` has been
called, we'll preserve the configured DNS servers in the snapshot.
We can consider exposing the serialization method if it becomes
necessary for user-land snapshots.

It's difficult for V8 to handle Error.stackTraceLimit in the snapshot,
so delete it from the Error constructor if it's present before
snapshot serialization, and re-install it after deserialization.
In addition try not to touch it from our internals during snapshot
building in the first place by updating
isErrorStackTraceLimitWritable().

The term "native module" dates back to some of the oldest code
in the code base. Within the context of Node.js core it usually
refers to modules that are native to Node.js (e.g. fs, http),
but it can cause confusion for people who don't work on this
part of the code base, as "native module" can also refer to
native addons - which is even the case in some of the API
docs and error messages.
This patch tries to make the usage of these terms more consistent.
Now within the context of Node.js core:
- JavaScript scripts that are built-in to Node.js are now referred
to as "built-in(s)". If they are available as modules,
they can also be referred to as "built-in module(s)".
- Dynamically-linked shared objects that are loaded into
the Node.js processes are referred to as "addons".
We will try to avoid using the term "native modules" because it could
be ambiguous.
Changes in this patch:
File names:
- node_native_module.h -> node_builtins.h,
- node_native_module.cc -> node_builtins.cc
C++ binding names:
- `native_module` -> `builtins`
`node::Environment`:
- `native_modules_without_cache` -> `builtins_without_cache`
- `native_modules_with_cache` -> `builtins_with_cache`
- `native_modules_in_snapshot` -> `builtins_in_cache`
- `native_module_require` -> `builtin_module_require`
`node::EnvSerializeInfo`:
- `native_modules` -> `builtins
`node::native_module::NativeModuleLoader`:
- `native_module` namespace -> `builtins` namespace
- `NativeModuleLoader` -> `BuiltinLoader`
- `NativeModuleRecordMap` -> `BuiltinSourceMap`
- `NativeModuleCacheMap` -> `BuiltinCodeCacheMap`
- `ModuleIds` -> `BuiltinIds`
- `ModuleCategories` -> `BuiltinCategories`
- `LoadBuiltinModuleSource` -> `LoadBuiltinSource`
`loader.js`:
- `NativeModule` -> `BuiltinModule` (the `NativeModule` name used in
`process.moduleLoadList` is kept for compatibility)
And other clarifications in the documentation and comments.

This patch:
- Make NativeModuleLoader::LookupAndCompile() detect parameters based
on module IDs. This allows us to compile more builtins when
generating the embedded bootstrap, including
- internal/per_context/*
- internal/bootstrap/*
- internal/main/*
- Move pre_execution.js to lib/internal/process as it needs to be
compiled as a regular built-in module, unlike other scripts
in lib/internal/bootstrap
- Move markBootstrapComplete() to the performance binding instead of
making it a function-wrapper-based global to reduce number of
special cases.

This adds a --build-snapshot runtime option which is currently only
supported by the node_mksnapshot binary, and a --node-snapshot-main
configure option that makes use it to run a custom script when
building the embedded snapshot. The idea is to have this experimental
feature in core as a configure-time feature for now, and investigate
the renaming V8 bugs before we make it available to more users via
making it a runtime option.
