Introduce version selection script for N-API testing

Link for CI job

https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-node-addon-api/

Need to add back in testing so that it runs on VS2017 and will need version selector script so that it excludes running on V6.x

@nodejs/n-api-admins PTAL

I've played with a copy of the job - https://ci.nodejs.org/job/refack-node-test-node-addon-api/25/

1. Moved all git cloning to Jenkins
2. Replaced MACHINES filter with matrix param and the version selector script
3. Use NVS to download node

It think I got it to works on all platforms, and the whole script is now just:

#!bash -xe

ls
export NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG=$WORKSPACE/npmrc
export NPM_CONFIG_CACHE=$WORKSPACE/npm-cache

export npm_loglevel=error
export npm_progress=false

# Use NVS for cross platform node install
NODEJS_VERSION="$NODEJS_MAJOR_VERSION"
if [ ${NODEJS_MAJOR_VERSION} -gt "11" ]; then
  NODEJS_VERSION="nightly/$NODEJS_VERSION"
fi

echo "######### solve edge cases for nvs #########"
case $nodes in
  *s390x)
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/gcc-4.9/lib64
  ;;
  aix*)
    # we mock uname since the native one with '-m' gives some guid
    echo '#\!bash -xe' > uname
    echo 'if [[ "$1" == "-m" ]]; then echo "ppc64"; else echo "AIX"; fi' >> uname
    chmod 755 uname
    export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
  ;;
  smart*)
    # we mock uname since the native with '-m' one says 'i86pc'
    echo '#\!bash -xe' > uname
    echo 'if [[ "$1" == "-m" ]]; then echo "x64"; else echo "SunOS"; fi' >> uname
    chmod 755 uname
    export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
  ;;
esac

export NVS_USE_XZ=0
export NVS_HOME="$PWD/temp_nvs"
. $NVS_HOME/nvs.sh add $NODEJS_VERSION
nvs use $NODEJS_VERSION

. ./build/jenkins/scripts/select-compiler.sh

cd node-addon-api
ls
node -v
npm -v

echo "################# ready to start ###########"

npm install

if [ ${NODEJS_MAJOR_VERSION} -gt "9" ]; then
  # These can run experimental tests
  npm test
else
  echo 'console.log(process.versions.napi)' >get_napi_version.js
  NAPI_VERSION_REPORTED=`node get_napi_version.js`
  npm test --NAPI_VERSION=$NAPI_VERSION_REPORTED
fi

Got only 2 infra failures

• aix - tar -z doesn't work : tar: Not a recognized flag: z
• smartOS16
  ld.so.1: node: fatal: relocation error: file /home/iojs/build/workspace/node-test-node-addon-api/temp_nvs/cache/node: symbol _ZTVNSt7__cxx1119basic_ostringstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE: referenced symbol not found

P.S. I converted those to ⚠️

Yes, -z is not a valid option for AIX's tar command: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds5/tar.htm
Options are to either get GNU tar or pipe to gzip/gunzip.

The smartOS16 issue is #1519.

[refack]

get GNU tar

I'd rather we have this so our Jenkins scripts would be simpler.

This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is remove or a comment is made.

[mhdawson]

Current job runs using the version selector script. This is done, closing.
