Summary	0005831: implement thread support in akono
Description	Currently akono (the android-kotlin-nodejs binding API) does not support threads. This requires some major changes, as right now we implement the bindings in a rather hacky way by setting our akono-specific functions for module-loading and IPC on the global context. However, newly created worker context won't have these binding functions available. The right way to implement this is to register these glue functions as a module via node_module_register and apply it to the global object in the third party bootstrapping code, which we have to add to node when compiling it. Supporting threads would increase the perceived performance, as crypto operations wouldn't block stuff like balance queries.
