Electron recently dropped support for external
buffers. Provide a way for addon authors to:
- hide the methods to create external buffers so they can
avoid using them if they want the broadest compatibility.
- call the methods that create external buffers at runtime
to check if external buffers are supported and either
use them or not based on the return code.

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.

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.
