This removes the `process._needImmediateCallback` property
and its semantics of having a 1/0 switch that tells C++ whether
immediates are currently scheduled.
Instead, a counter keeping track of all immediates is created,
that can be increased on `setImmediate()` or decreased when an
immediate is run or cleared.
This is faster, because rather than reading/writing a C++ getter,
this operation can be performed as a direct memory read/write via
a typed array. The only C++ call that is left to make is
activating the native handles upon creation of the first
`Immediate` after the queue is empty.
One other (good!) side-effect is that `immediate._destroyed` now
reliably tells whether an `immediate` is still scheduled to run or not.
Also, as a nice extra, this should make it easier to implement
an internal variant of `setImmediate` for C++ that piggybacks
off the same mechanism, which should be useful at least for
async hooks and HTTP/2.
