Node.js package migration to node-api / node-addon-api

The node package node-tcl wraps an existing c++ library for use in node. It builds using gyp and is reported to build correctly in older versions of node < 10. The job is to get it to build correctly on node 16 and later. The current package uses "nan" to integrate with node. The specified approach is to use the more modern "node-api" (or node-addon-api for c++) so as to make the package more resilient to future changes as node versions progress. To replicate problem: Install node.js version 16+ mkdir test; cd test; npm install tcl Observe error messages Phase 1 objective: Get node-tcl to build on node 16 as quickly as possible (a day or two if possible). Phase 2 objective: Get package working reliably with node-api. Send pull request to package maintainer (he has already indicated his willingness to receive it) and so he can publish the package with permanent improvements. This phase is less time sensitive.
