In Electron there are two sets of APIs: Node APIs provided by Node.js, and Web
APIs provided by Chromium. Both APIs support reading files from `asar` archives.

Most `fs` APIs can read file or get file's information from `asar` archives
without unpacking, but for some APIs that rely on passing the real file path to

temporary file and pass the path of the temporary file to the APIs to make them
work. This adds a little overhead for those APIs.
