dev-util/electron: Add ebuild for Github's Electron (v0.36.9)
Electron is an application framework built on top of Chromium and NodeJS.
It allows creating cross-platform desktop apps using Web tech. [1]
The main user of Electron is the Atom IDE [2]. Microsoft Visual Studio
Code is also based on Electron. It is also useful for the creation of
desktop wrappers for popular web services, e.g. Google Music [3].
Unfortunately, current upstream's approach to "building Electron from
source" involves downloading a pre-built libchromiumcontent.so binary
from the Internet, which poses obvious security and compatibility risks.
This ebuild is based heavily on the Chromium ebuild and follows similar
unbunling policy.
Additionally, Electron-specific NodeJS headers are installed to
/usr/include so that native modules built for Electron-based apps can be
compiled against the correct version of NodeJS embedded in Electron.
