n-api: stop creating references to primitives

The binding testing napi_wrap() creates references to primitives passed
into the binding in its second parameter. This is unnecessary and not
at all the point of the test. Additionally, creating persistent
references to primitive values may not be supported by all VMs, since
primitives are best persisted in their native form.

Instead, the point of the test is to make sure that the finalize
callback gets called when it should get called, that it gets called
with the correct pointer, and that it does not get called when it
should not get called. Creating persistent references is not necessary
for verifying this.
