src: always use strong reference to napi_async_context resource

There already is an existing requirement to have matching calls of
`napi_async_init()` and `napi_async_destroy()`, so expecting users
of this API to manually hold onto the resource for the duration of
the `napi_async_context`'s lifetime is unnecessary.

Weak callbacks are generally useful for when a corresponding C++
object should be cleaned up when a JS object is gargbage-collected,
but that is not the case here.

 In order to retain ABI compatibility with previous versions, passing `NULL`
 for `async_resource` does not result in an error. However, this is not
 recommended as this will result in undesirable behavior with  `async_hooks`
 [`init` hooks][] and `async_hooks.executionAsyncResource()` as the resource is
 now required by the underlying `async_hooks` implementation in order to provide
 the linkage between async callbacks.
 
+Previous versions of this API were not maintaining a strong reference to
+`async_resource` while the `napi_async_context` object existed and instead
+expected the caller to hold a strong reference. This has been changed, as a
+corresponding call to [`napi_async_destroy`][] for every call to
+`napi_async_init()` is a requirement in any case to avoid memory leaks.
