I'd like to 1. merge this PR, 2. immediately follow up with a small commit removing the flag & adjusting api.md, 3. release with the change well-documented / asking for feedback if this is problematic to anyone. (I'm not asking you any extra work, and like leaving an in-tree commit trace of considering the flag). If people complain with a valid reason, we'll restore the flag with a quick revert, else we're happy with one less flag and a reasonably-handled breaking change.

Turns out it's even more problematic: @TheCleric notices in https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/pull/1124#issuecomment-790279403
that this breaks app `https://evernote.com` doing its login in `www.evernote.com`
The present change fixes this, by behaving mostly similarly to before,
but without re-introducing `wurl` or another dep needing a TLD/SLD list.
- Docker builds for Windows are fixed (fixes #997)
- Switched over to use Alpine (as was indicated as desired in https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/issues/375#issuecomment-304247033) - which may mean #375 is fixed as well.
- Fixed bug where Docker has the wrong line endings when copying from a Windows host
- Fixed the invalid `arm` arch to `armv7l`
- Add `npm t` to the docker build to ensure tests pass before we start trying to do builds
- Add a message to help the user when trying to build Mac apps on Windows as a non-Admin (currently an unhelpful exception)

This one may be problematic, as it used to do TLD stuff:
https://github.com/websanova/node-url/blob/7982a613bc/wurl.js#L4
So, the new WHATWG-URL-based implementation will consider
`asana.com` to be "external" to `app.asana.com`, contrarily to before.
Given the nature of Nativefier, I think it's actually what to expect,
that in this case your "out of the app", and in e.g. asana landing's page,
which you'd expect to see in your browser.
Let's see if users disagree with that.
We don't need a fancy _"portable (Windows/Linux/macOS) implementation
of Unix shell commands on top of the Node.js API"_, we just want to run
a simple script. Replacing with using stdlib `child_process.spawnSync`.
Thinking about it again, the user-friendlier `a.x` syntax has one disadvantage
over `^a.b.c`: it doesn't force deps upgrades when they upgrade Nativefier.
`a.x` is fine on initial install, but a user with an insecure dep
(e.g. axios 0.19.0) will _not_ get fixed axios 0.21.1 on upgrading Nativefier.
-> Come back to `a.x` everywhere.
Still not introducing package locks, they're too confusing to new devs.

Not doing anything more complicated (adding macOS-specific code
or adding code always passing an icon), let's instead wait for
Electron to fix the issue.
Rationale for nonsensical major version bump: around Nativefier 8.x,
versions of Nativefier and Electron aligned, by release schedule coincidence.
Since Nativefier has little breaking changes, it was great: as Electron
releases are breaking, Nativefier had no breaking changes, I bumped our
major version on new major Electron, and everything was good.
Except *now*, as I have a breaking change, that would bump Nativefier to
12.x, which would be confusing since we'd still default to Electron 11 :-/ .
-> To keep respecting semver and reduce confusion, bumping Nativefier
version to something far ahead. No it doesn't matter, version
number are meaningless anyway (well, outside of semver, whose
respect is precisely the point here).
