doc: update context-aware section of addon doc

Replace the portion of the context-aware addon example that advocates
for managing the life cycle of the per-addon-instance data using a
weak reference with code that illustrates how to manage its life cycle
using an environment cleanup hook.

 The context-aware addon can be structured to avoid global static data by
 performing the following steps:
-
-* defining a class which will hold per-addon-instance data. Such
-a class should include a `v8::Global<v8::Object>` which will hold a weak
-reference to the addon's `exports` object. The callback associated with the weak
-reference will then destroy the instance of the class.
-* constructing an instance of this class in the addon initializer such that the
-`v8::Global<v8::Object>` is set to the `exports` object.
-* storing the instance of the class in a `v8::External`, and
-* passing the `v8::External` to all methods exposed to JavaScript by passing it
-to the `v8::FunctionTemplate` constructor which creates the native-backed
-JavaScript functions. The `v8::FunctionTemplate` constructor's third parameter
-accepts the `v8::External`.
+* Define a class which will hold per-addon-instance data and which has a static
+member of the form
+    ```C++
+    static void DeleteInstance(void* data) {
+      // Cast `data` to an instance of the class and delete it.
+    }
+    ```
+* Heap-allocate an instance of this class in the addon initializer. This can be
+accomplished using the `new` keyword.
+* Call `node::AddEnvironmentCleanupHook()`, passing it the above-created
+instance and a pointer to `DeleteInstance()`. This will ensure the instance is
+deleted when the environment is torn down.
+* Store the instance of the class in a `v8::External`, and
+* Pass the `v8::External` to all methods exposed to JavaScript by passing it
+to `v8::FunctionTemplate::New()` or `v8::Function::New()` which creates the
+native-backed JavaScript functions. The third parameter of
+`v8::FunctionTemplate::New()` or `v8::Function::New()`  accepts the
+`v8::External` and makes it available in the native callback using the
+`v8::FunctionCallbackInfo::Data()` method.
 
 This will ensure that the per-addon-instance data reaches each binding that can
 be called from JavaScript. The per-addon-instance data must also be passed into
