Add redirect support for downloading node.lib

[adumbidiot]

I added primitive redirect support for downloading node.lib in NAPI since Electron uses it. While its nice not pulling in any external Rust or Js deps in the build script, I think some time should be spent at some point making the download process more robust.

Thanks for the contribution and helping us to test electron. Using node is a neat idea, but it might be complicated enough that we should bring in a build dependency. For example, this doesn't handle 301s.

@goto-bus-stop what do think of using ureq?

[adumbidiot]

Looking at the history, ureq used to be used until it got replaced.

@adumbidiot That commit was part of the same PR that also replaced it. It's never been used in neon. My preference is to use ureq instead of maintaining an increasingly complicated JS script in a string.

Also, interestingly, node isn't actually required to build a neon n-api module. I'm not sure it's realistic that a user would want to build in an environment without it, but except for this download, it's possible.

I agree … initially we got rid of the dependency since I assumed we'd just be getting things from nodejs.org, but since that is not the case, the ureq dependency will be worth it. We might be able to do it just by reverting that commit you linked, if that still applies cleanly…

Reverted 2574b2d on top of this branch, that should do the trick 🙏

Thanks for bringing this up @adumbidiot :)
