Simple, promise-based API for native worker threads (with pools)

/**
 * Wraps a worker handler so you can add a transfer list for the result.
 *
 * Works only if the result is an instance of a Buffer or a TypedArray.
 *
 * @param handler - Handler function
 * @param mapperFn - Takes the result and should produce a transfer list.
 * @returns A wrapped handler whose result will be moved rather than cloned.
