[prebuild] feat(prebuild): support of Alpine binaries

[Delagen]

• update dependencies
• rework binding.gyp
• rework msys bundle for Windows
• add bundle for MUSL (Alpine)
• rework bundle scripts and ci

moved to prebuild

Thanks for contributing!

• Have you updated CHANGELOG.md?

[Delagen]

Moved from #2366

[Delagen]

@zbjornson reworked. This is second.

Hi I had the suggest for your comment. You should split the comment for different system.

@ifurther What do you suggest?

[Delagen]

Reworked to support 22 version, remove error suppression in Windows test due to fix in 20.x Node

@chearon did you build all of the Linux deps from source for a reason, or can we use precompiled packages as this PR does?

[chearon]

Yes, we need to build on an old OS for maximum compatibility. Programs built against a newer libc may have symbols that don't exist on older OSes (this happened to real users). But we want newer libraries, so have to build from source.

[zbjornson]

But we want newer libraries

👍 forgot about this part.

[Delagen]

You describe preference to run code on old OS, but you require at least NodeJS 18.

Node 18 via NVM ubuntu 14.04

node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by node)
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by node)
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)
node: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by node)

node: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by node)

Node 18 via NVM Ubuntu 18.04

node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

Node-source distribution doesn't target any Ubuntu lower than 20.04

Current build with not precompiled libraries works perfectly on Ubuntu 20.04 with Node 18 from NVM.

That pretty the same issues as Alpine build.

Any other suggestions to build from source?

I thinks that build from source was designed as a way to bundle libraries with compiled node binding, because base libraries without patching tries to resolve dependencies via precompiled path. Patching libraries with patchelf resolves this issue. So I don't think that manually compile libraries is overkill.
