process: allow StartExecution() to take a main script ID #25474

The idea is to allow the C++ layer to run arbitrary scripts
as the main script. This paves the way for

  • cctest of the execution of Node.js instances
  • Earlier handling of per-process CLI options that affect
    execution modes (those usually do not make sense for the
    embedders).
  • Targets like mkcodecache or mksnapshot.

Also moves the handling of _third_party_main.js into C++.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

@joyeecheung sadly an error occured when I tried to trigger a build :(

Local<Value> main_script_v;
if (main_script_id == nullptr) {
// TODO(joyeecheung): make this mandatory - we may also create an overload
// for main_script that is a Local<Function>.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly, overload means an overload of StartExecution() that takes a Local<Function>? I like that idea. :)

@addaleax Yeah, and maybe we could also use an overload with a C++ callback that takes some useful arguments (maybe Environment?)

// directory which will be executed instead of Node's normal loading.
if (NativeModule.exists('_third_party_main')) {
function startMainThreadExecution(mainScript) {
if (mainScript) {

This bit here is temporary - I think it would be better to do the branching in C++ and directly compileAndCall the main scripts instead. For per-process CLI options like --help we could branch in node::Start() since they do not make a lot of sense for either embedders or the workers anyway. Although unfortunately for _third_party_main we have to keep a driver that wrap it into a process.nextTick() (or maybe there is a cleverer way out?)
