This PR move source code filenames from the sources field to variables in gyp files.

With this, it becomes much easier extracting the filenames from the gyp files with tools like gypi_to_gn.py, and it significantly eases the work of compiling Node.js with another build system. Chromium was doing the exact same thing during their migration from GYP to GN.

Other than helping embedders, doing this also improves the readability of the gyp files, and actually quite a lot of places in node's gyp files are already doing it.

I won't block this but I'm pretty meh on this approach. Maybe it helps downstream projects but it just adds another layer of indirection for us.

A few places are already doing this: ngtcp2.gyp , node_inspector.gypi, and the deps_files and library_files variables in node.gyp (I'm leaving out the tons of openssl's gyp files since it is a special case). As someone not familiar with node's gyp files, I personally find it easier understanding what the gyp file does with all the filenames moved out of the target.

Also probably the only other projects largely used GYP, Chromium chose to put the filenames in variables: content_browser.gypi, and so did Electron. But they abandoned GYP eventually so it may be not very persuading.

For targets that only have one or two files, I agree this is unnecessary indirection, but having a united style feels better, and additionally it helps us embedders.

Also another thing to consider is, whether node will stick to GYP for forever. If the answer is no, then reorganizing gyp files for easy scripting is something that node will do eventually. The cost is almost none, and arguably improves readability.

A live example of how node's gyp files are reused in another build system can be checked at: https://github.com/photoionization/node_with_gn/blob/main/gn_files/node/deps/ngtcp2/BUILD.gn#L53-L57.

I like the change. I think it makes the config easier to read without big lists of files in the middle.
@zcbenz could you please fix the conflict?

* fix: failing crashReporter tests on Linux

These were failing because our change from node::InitializeNodeWithArgs to
node::InitializeOncePerProcess meant that we now inadvertently called
PlatformInit, which reset signal handling. This meant that our intentional
crash function ElectronBindings::Crash no longer worked and the renderer process
no longer crashed when process.crash() was called. We don't want to use Node.js'
default signal handling in the renderer process, so we disable it by passing
kNoDefaultSignalHandling to node::InitializeOncePerProcess.
