node-gdal-async: gdal-async is not compatible with Electron

Electron does not export zlib which GDAL uses
- opening compressed files is to be disabled
Electron does not export OpenSSL which GDAL uses
- https is to be disabled
Electron has a (build??) problem with the new GetBackingStore V8 API https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/29893
- a workaround is to be implemented
