Matteo Collina 1b2629df7a sea: add vfsArchive to serve the assets from a ZIP archive
When "vfsArchive" names a ZIP archive in the SEA configuration (with
"useVfs": true), --build-sea embeds the archive verbatim as one
reserved asset, and at runtime the SEA virtual file system mounts the
existing ZipProvider over a zero-copy view of the embedded archive
instead of the SEAProvider. The main script is injected into the
in-memory archive index as a stored entry, so the mounted tree looks
the same as with "assets".

The archive can be produced with any ZIP tool or with the ZIP support
in node:zlib; no ZIP serialization logic is added to the build side.
This trades asset read speed (entries are inflated when opened) for a
substantially smaller executable when the assets are compressible.

Also make FindSingleExecutableResource() return the deserialized
SeaResource by reference instead of by value: the copy included the
whole assets map, and getAsset() calls it once per asset read, so
every fs operation served by the SEA virtual file system paid a cost
linear in the number of bundled assets - with 8192 assets, reading
each of them took seconds instead of milliseconds.
