switch to prebuild for better binary distribution and electron support

[gpetrov]

Summary

Currently node-sqlite3 uses node-pre-gyp for building and delivers only node compatible modules.

Proposed implementation

To achieve wider binary distribution and to support electron prebuild binaries, a support for prebuild is desired.

See https://nodejs.github.io/node-addon-examples/build-tools/prebuild/

Also node-pre-gyp is hitting a bit of a dead-end. See mapbox/node-pre-gyp#657

I'm also coming to the same conclusion 🙂 I'd like to serve armv6 and armv7 but I ran into a bug with node-pre-gyp: mapbox/node-pre-gyp#348 (comment)

I'd welcome a PR to change over to prebuild. Else I can look at changing this but I have no ETA on that right now

That being said, it doesn't look like it would solve my problem: prebuild/prebuild#174

It would appear prebuild is also effectively unmaintained!

Time to switch to prebuildify? prebuild/prebuild#174 (comment)
