v8 14.1 added an EmbedderDataTypeTag to the v8::Object aligned internal field
pointer accessors and 14.2 removed the versions without one, so the generated
code did not compile with Node.js 26. The new SWIGV8_ALIGNED_POINTER_GET and
SWIGV8_ALIGNED_POINTER_SET macros select between them, switching at 14.2 as
14.1 only has the tagged setter.
The default tag is used rather than a SWIG specific one. The tag used when
setting must match the tag used when getting, and modules pass proxy objects
between each other, so a SWIG specific tag would stop a module wrapped by an
older SWIG being read by one wrapped by a newer SWIG.
v8 14.3 similarly added a type tag to v8::External and deprecated the versions
without one, which is fatal as the examples are compiled with -Werror.
SWIGV8_EXTERNAL_NEW now selects between them and the new SWIGV8_EXTERNAL_VALUE
macro does the same for reading the value back.
Node.js 26 is added to the CI test matrix for both the node and napi engines.
The minimum supported v8 version is unchanged at 7.4.

Context-aware initialization allows to instantiate add-ons multiple
times, most importantly in multiple Workers' contexts. Workers made
first appearance in v10.5. Context-aware initialization was option
earlier than that, even before supported minimum v6.x, yet condition
is chosen more conservatively as NODE_MODULE_VERSION >= 64, a.k.a.
v10.0.
* js-v8-52-tests:
fixed nvm
node tests: use provided version if present
travis tests for different node versions
fix travis tests
Test NodeJS 4, 6, 8, and 10
Remove warnings on Node 6.x aka V8 5.0 and 5.1
Add Node 7.x aka V8 5.2+ support
The proposed changes targetted at 5.2 (or 5.4 to be more precise, since there is no Node release with V8 5.2 or 5.3) work for lower versions as well and bust the deprecation warnings there.
* Use WeakCallbackInfo instead of WeakCallbackData
* Use GetPrivate instead of GetHiddenValue
* Adopted new signature for SetWeak to support destructor calling
* SetAccessor deprecation fixed
* Proper version checks where applicable
