Support for packaging node native modules into executable

[Vidhyaprabha]

I am trying to build an executable out of my node application that uses native addons like edge-js, usb-detection, etc.

I get the following error on running the exe,

pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1185
      throw error;
      ^

Error: Cannot find module 'edge-js'
1) If you want to compile the package/file into executable, please pay attention to compilation warnings and specify a literal in 'require' call. 2) If you don't want to compile the package/file into executable and want to 'require' it from filesystem (likely plugin), specify an absolute path in 'require' call using process.cwd() or process.execPath.

The following PR could help resolve this as well,

#837

When can we expect a release with this?
