[Nexus-developers] Two changes to napi for v4

Seems reasonable to me

You can use NXMSetError() to replace the current error reporting
function with a local one that does nothing, though to save on
complexity for the user it is probably worth us having

NXMDisableErrorReporting()
NXMEnableErrorReporting()

Which respectively "replace with a null operation" and "restore the
previous" error reporting functions.
