Nexe: Publish prebuild of node 14

[ricardopolo]

What would you like to be added:
Pre build binaries for node 14

Why is this needed:
Node 14 is the current version and fixes important issues regading memory management (RAM). A prebuild version makes the usage of nexe much easier.

Hi, just out of curiosity: Why is there a prebuild node 14 for windows but not for linux?

I'd like to migrate to Nexe from zeit/pkg because pkg doesn't even support node 12. But for that I need node 14 on linux.

It looks like the build is currently broken for node 14 in CI (and I believe even the windows builds are not working based on the issues i've seen come in). Once Node 14 hits LTS later this month I should have some time to look at it.

@calebboyd any update on this?

In case it helps, my Nexe base build with Node 14.15.0 on Linux with my beta-6 fork completes but fails with the following error on launch:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1003
  callbackMap.set(compiled.cacheKey, {
              ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'set' of undefined

(I’m now trying it with beta-14 as I type this. Will report back. But something’s changed between beta-6 and beta-14 where my resources aren’t being included so I have to debug that also – will open a separate issue if it’s not a known breaking change once I’ve narrowed it down.)

I had planned to look into this once it hit LTS but I'm also taking some much needed time away so I won't have time for a few weeks. Thanks for digging @aral !

Of course, @calebboyd, no rush. Maybe when you’re back and tackling it, if you can share your process, I’d be happy to try and help with future Node upgrades :)
