This commit replaces our home-grown CLI packaging mechanism based on
browserify + node-static-entry-point with pkg, an open source tool to
package Node.js applications for distribution.
Some highlights:
- Removing browserify got rid of a lot of dependencies from
npm-shrinkwrap.json
- pkg currently has an issue where macOS binaries can't be code-signed
(https://github.com/zeit/pkg/issues/128), therefore this commit
comments-out the binary signing section for that operating system
- pkg currently has an issue where Windows binaries can't be branded
(https://github.com/zeit/pkg/issues/149), therefore this commit
comments-out the branding section for that operating system

As part of our CI sanity checks, we run `npm ls`, to ensure we don't
have any extraneous dependencies (the command fails if so), however by
its own definition, `npm ls` prints the whole dependency tree, which
spams the builds.
This commit redirects stdout to /dev/null, which contains the dependency
tree, but still prints and extraneous dependency warning, which is
printed to stderr instead.

If we include a platform specific optional dependency in the shrinkwrap
file, then npm will insist in installing it even if the platform doesn't
match. As a solution, we figured out we can avoid putting this platform
specific optional dependencies in the npm-shrinkwrap.json file.
In order to do this, we currently have a script called
`clean-shrinkwrap.js` that runs *before* any `npm shrinkwrap` file (its
a `preshrinkwrap` npm script) that deletes all the platform specific
modules we know about using `npm rm`.
The problem with this approach is that `npm rm` will remove the module's
code from `node_modules`, which means that if we run `npm shrinkwrap`,
we will lose certain optional dependencies, that may be needed at a
later stage.
The solution is to modify the `clean-shrinkwrap.js` script to parse
`npm-shrinkwrap.json`, and manually delete the entries that we want to
omit. Also, the script needs to be run *after* `npm shrinkwrap`, so we
change the npm script name to `postshrinkwrap`.

We currently support portable builds that are basically ZIPs containing
the main Etcher executable and all its related libraries.
Turns out `electron-builder` supports NSIS-based portable builds that
can create a single executable that has everything it needs to run,
including any external assets.
This commit makes use of this new portable Windows installer
functionality, replacing the old ZIP approach.

We've been using `electron-builder` v2 all this time to create the NSIS
installer. This commit upgrade `electron-builder` to v18.6.2, and keeps
using it just to create the NSIS installer (for now).
The final package behaves exactly like the one we have before, just that
we needed various tweaks to upgrade to the latest `electron-builder`
version.
In more detail:
- Inject data to package.json using the new `--extraMetadata` option
- Remove old `.builder` package.json property
- Change the author of the project to Resin Inc. (the company name used
in our code-signing certificate)
As an extra, the new NSIS installer allows the user to install the
application to any location, and fixes the fact that the previous
installer copied the application to C:\Program Files (x86) even on x64
systems.

Etcher supports disabling the update notification dialog by setting the
`ETCHER_DISABLE_UPDATES` environment variable.
In order to simplify disabling updates for when these are managed by a
package manager (e.g. in a debian package), this removes support for the
`ETCHER_DISABLE_UPDATES` environment variable, and instead requires
packagers to tweak the `updates.enabled` property of the package.json
file, which is set to `true` by default.
We don't want to encourage end users to disable the update mechanism, so
the documention was removed from `USER-DOCUMENTATION.md`. This option
will remain as something only packagers should tweak.

We encountered a Browserify bug when releasing the CLI, where absolute
paths would be hard-coded in the final bundle. Since we were in the
middle of a release process, we added a quick and dirty

After the release, we submitted a PR to Browserify which fixes the
issue. This commit makes use of my personal fork to be able to use such
fix while it gets merged to the main project.

There are various problems that contributed to this issue:
- `node-pre-gyp` doesn't detect the 6.10.3 node version. We reverted to
6.1.0, which the module recognised, and which shares the same v8 ABI
- Passing `--force` to `npm install` causes npm to swallow any errors
and silently continue
- The x86 Docker container has problems writing to `$HOME/.node-gyp`.
The solution is to enable `unsafe-perm` given that the container is
running as `root`

For some strange reason, Browserify will hardcode absolute paths from
the machine that generated the bundle to be able to resolve `__dirname`
and `__filename` calls. This makes no sense, given that it means that
the Browserify bundle will not work when we move it to another machine,
which went undetected probably for months.
The Browserify community apparently makes modules to fix this particular
issue (like `bundle-collapser`, and `intreq`), however none of this seem
to solve the problem for the Etcher CLI bundle.
I also gave https://github.com/zeit/pkg a go, however I gave up after
not being able to make use of native modules (nothing seems to work; the
packager result will simply not find the addons).
Finally, I ended up making the following workarounds:
- Edit the Browserify bundle file to use its own `__dirname` to
dynamically resolve the values of `__dirname` and `__filename` of the
files it contains
- Patch `lzma-native` to statically require its add-on rather than
relying on dynamic requires from `node-pre-gyp`, which makes it
impossible to resolve on the final bundle

Sentry error reports showcase that elevation errors on Windows are one
of the most frequent Windows errors.
In order to perform Windows elevation, we ship compiled EXEs of a third
party CLI elevation application (http://code.kliu.org/misc/elevate/)
that has several limitations:
- We have the scan the output of the script to determine if a user
cancelled the elevation request, which causes all sorts of issues on
computers where English is not the main language
- The application displays a `cmd.exe` window for some milliseconds,
which is bad UX, that we have to workaround by distributing a patched
version of the tool
- The CLI application has to be spawned, which seems to be problematic
if users have anti-virus software, leading to hard to debug issues
- We don't have any control if something goes wrong
For these reasons, we decided to implement our own elevation mechanism
in C++ as a Node.js add-on, based on the `elevate.exe` code we where
previously using.
Misc changes:
- Introduce a `lib/shared/bindings.js` module to easily require local native
add-ons
- Install `cpplint` and configure it to lint C++ files
Note that for practical reasons, the C++ code lives in this repository
rather than in a separate module. We will release this functionality in
a more accessible way in the future as part of the Etcher SDK project.

We recently discovered that users not running latest GNU/Linux
distributions were having problems when Etcher tried to load native
modules. We used to build packages on Ubuntu 16.04, which ships with
GLIBC 2.23.
In order to solve that issue, we moved our build Docker containers to
Debian Jessie, which ships with GLIBC 2.19, however we noticed that
users running even older Linux distributions were still having the same
issue, so this commit switched the Docker containers to Ubuntu 12.04,
which ships with GLIBC 2.15.

Newer npm versions (4.4+ I believe) even remove dependencies
not shrinkwrapped yet while pruning causing newly installed dependencies
to not always be shrinkwrapped / updated in the shrinkwrap.
Removing the prune allows for this to work properly again and in the future,
with the drawback that care must be taken to not have extraneous dependencies
in the module tree.
