add port node and call for help

[congzhangzh]

Background:

Node.js provides several C++ APIs that can be used to execute JavaScript in a Node.js environment from other C++ software. but there is no embedded lib release for use out of the box.

This port hopes to add a node port, which will provide a node package, including:

1. include/node/{node.h, uv.h, v8.h}
2. libnode.lib/so library
3. node.exe/node executable
4. provide both debug/release version
5. follow the latest release of node

Tips:

This pull request is just a draft, the purpose is to depict a prototype for more people to participate in the future, it may not even be able to run at all, I need help:)

I have manually compiled and used libnode on both windows and linux, there is no problem, I have been a node runtime guy in the fast two months.

If we can make libnode the official port of vcpkg, the use of it will be very easy.

Others

If you are still working on the PR, open it as a Draft: https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/.

Yes

• The version database is fixed by rerunning ./vcpkg x-add-version --all and committing the result.
• Only one version is in the new port's versions file.
• Only one version is added to each modified port's versions file.

TBD, as it's WIP

@mingmoe @r-rojo @dg0yt @SNMetamorph Hi guys, maybe we can work together on this draft merge request?

I need leave for the next two months, so this work may be stopped, please go on if possible.

Embedded and even shared library is not the core business of the node team, most of the time we embed Python, Python even provide the official release of the embedded version, if we need the node related function, help ourselves :)
