(v6.x backport) build: enable cctest to use generated objects

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/danbev/v6.x-cctest-refactoring into v6.x-staging

This commit tries to make it simpler to add unit tests (cctest) for code that needs to test node core funtionality but that might not be appropriate as an addon or a JavaScript test. An example of this could be adding functionality targeted for situations when Node itself is embedded.

Currently it was not as easy, or efficient, as one would have hoped to add such tests. The object output directories vary for different operating systems which we need to link to so that we don't have an additional compilation step.
