0d6525acae core: add getter/setter functions for easier ABI compat
Add getter/setter functions for the fields of public structs that
might be relevant to e.g. Node.js addons.

Through these methods, ABI compatibility for a subset of the ABI
is easier to achieve, since using them makes code independent
of the exact offsets of these fields.

The intended use case that prompted this are N-API addons for
Node.js, which look for more long-term ABI compatibility guarantees
than typical Node code. With these helper functions, using libuv
directly should no longer be an obstacle for such addons.
