Release on Node12

[ISNIT0]

MWOffliner would love to have a node 12 release (openzim/mwoffliner#707)

This merged pr: #130 gets node 12 support working, but I think we still need to update the emscripten code.

@jjrv Any timeline here? It is slowly becoming a problem to not support nodejs12 for software relying on nbind.

If anyone is interested, we've published a fork:
@mcesystems/nbind
(https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mcesystems/nbind)

We needed it for node 12 migration, so we just forked the module as is (plus a minor TS fix) and changed the name - works great.
@jjrv if you ever release here, please notify on this issue so we can deprecate our published module and revert to this one.

The fork: https://github.com/mceSystems/nbind

@mceIdo Thank you very much

[kelson42]

@jjrv Also, if you have abandoned the maintenance of this repo. this would be really benefit to have a notice.

@jjrv I would also be very interested if there is any maintenance/development ongoing.

@mceldo We still don't have checked with your fork
@nilres @mceldo I guess the project is abandonned. What would be a maintained alternative to nbind?

[mceIdo]

@kelson42, to be honest, given the awesome work done on N-API and the complementary node-addon-api for c++, next time I'll develop a new native module, or have a major refractor in one of my existing ones - I'll probably move to N-API based implementation

[nilres]

I was forced to go with embind directly. And work around the deficiencies it has.
What nbind was offering was a great addition but as it seems to be an abondon project I rather go with something that is activly maintained.

It's broken with node >= v13 or electron >= 8 which use (node v12 but) a newer version of v8 (like node v13)
