Issue: Module did not self-register for edge_nativeclr.node | code: 'ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED' with Node 18

Error:

The same error is happening here for Node 18 in this CI run: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/agracio/edge-js/builds/44772581/job/uyvrmskvw2tac57a

If anyone is facing this error, please find the below resolution.

Resolution:
This needed to build your own binaries for your specific node version.
In this below case, I tested out with Node 18.9.0

Step 1:
Upgrade nan to latest 2.16.0 (https://www.npmjs.com/package/nan)
ref:

edge-js/package.json

Line 40 in c1cfba1

"nan": "^2.14.0"

Step 2:
Change this NODE_MODULE initialization to NAN_MODULE_WORKER_ENABLED
ref:

edge-js/src/common/edge.cpp

Lines 84 to 86 in c1cfba1

    
           NODE_MODULE(edge_coreclr, init); 
        
           #else 
        
           NODE_MODULE(edge_nativeclr, init);

-->

        #if NODE_MAJOR_VERSION >= 10
		NAN_MODULE_WORKER_ENABLED(edge_coreclr, init)
	#else
		NODE_MODULE(edge_coreclr, init)
	#endif
#else
	#if NODE_MAJOR_VERSION >= 10
		NAN_MODULE_WORKER_ENABLED(edge_nativeclr, init)
	#else
		NODE_MODULE(edge_nativeclr, init)
	#endif

or

NAN_MODULE_WORKER_ENABLED(edge_coreclr, init)
#else
NAN_MODULE_WORKER_ENABLED(edge_nativeclr, init)

Step 3:
Change this to your targeted node version. In my case, it's 18.9.0

edge-js/lib/edge.js

Line 9 in c1cfba1

[ /^18\./, '18.4.0' ],

Step 4:
Build it with the targeted node version (ex: 18.9.0)

The new edge_nativeclr.node will not have the above issue and works fine with the node 18.9.0

@agracio - Can you please build this above for node 18.9.0? So that, we do not have to create/build separate binaries for this issue.
Thanks in the advance!

Updated and published to npm.

	NODE_MODULE(edge_coreclr, init);
	#else
	NODE_MODULE(edge_nativeclr, init);
