Update build system for latest versions of Node

[mwilsnd]

This PR swaps out mason and node-gyp for a CMake+submodules approach instead, unblocking use with newer node versions. Updates to vt-pbf are currently blocked by this module, see the MapLibre issue: maplibre/maplibre-gl-js#4393

cmake and zlib are required to build. Both tests in this module and in vt-pbf (when using this PR) appear to be passing. Since node-pre-gyp and mason were removed, there's no longer any pre-built binary distribution functionality.

It's unclear to me what else I might be missing but it seems moving to CMake was, at least at one point, under consideration for these older modules? See mapbox/vtcomposite#140

@mourner, any chance to push this through so we can update our dependencies to latest? The dependencies update is currently blocked due to dependencies misalignment which creates an increase in bundle size...
I think you mentioned that this library is what's holding it back, right?

Apologies — I'm off this week but perhaps @kkaefer you could take a quick look? From my side this looks good

This is from yesterday, no rush, just wanted to make sure it gets the relevant attention...
Thanks!!

@mourner this is a gentle reminder.
Please let us know if there's anything we should do to push this forward.

Let's proceed here:

This is unfortunate that we need to create a fork in order to push this forward.
Do let us know if there's an interest to push this code into this repo in the future.
Meanwhile, we'll be closing this PR.
