doc: update ObjectWrap example
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Remove the global static reference to the constructor
* Use `Napi::Env::SetInstanceData` to store the constructor, and
* Add a static method that uses `Napi::FunctionReference::New` to
  create a new instance of the class by retrieving the constructor
  using `Napi::Env::GetInstanceData` and using
  `Napi::FunctionReference::New` to create the new instance.
