chore(ci): update build scripts and replace deno scripts with node.js … (#25)

* refactor: update build scripts and replace deno scripts with node.js for metadata generation, add CI that actually works

- Changed the `metagen` script from Deno to Node.js in `package.json`.
- Added new build scripts for `libffi` and `metagen` in `package.json`.
- Updated CMakeLists to reflect the change from Deno to Node.js for metadata writing.
- Removed obsolete Deno scripts related to `build_libffi` and `metagen`.
- Deleted GitHub workflows for npm release and pull requests as part of the cleanup.

* chore: update package dependencies and CI configuration

- Removed the `prepare` script from `package.json`.
- Added a name to the CI workflow in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`.
- Updated `@nativescript/objc-node-api` dependency version to `^1.0.0-alpha.7` in both `packages/ios/package.json` and `packages/macos/package.json`.

* refactor: enhance build_libffi.js for improved environment handling and path management

- Refactored the script to use a helper function for path resolution, improving readability and maintainability.
- Updated environment variable handling to ensure consistent usage across commands.
- Added error handling for the configuration step to run autogen if necessary.
- Adjusted file copy operations to utilize the new path helper for better clarity.
