Module doesn't self-register from a worker thread

[yura415]

Environment Information

• OS [e.g. Mac, Arch, Windows 10]: Alpine (docker)
• Node Version [e.g. 8.2.1]: node:12-alpine
• NPM Version [e.g. 5.4.2]: v5
• C++ Toolchain [e.g. Visual Studio, llvm, g++]:
• node-rdkafka version [e.g. 2.3.3]: 2.8.1

Steps to Reproduce

const {
  Worker, isMainThread
} = require('worker_threads');
const kafka = require('node-rdkafka');

if (isMainThread) {
   // Brand new worker
   new Worker(__filename);
}

Additional context

Even though this issue relates to nodejs internal implementation of workers, nodejs developers wont fix it. However it can be fixed by making native module context-aware. Here is an example for node-lzo: schroffl/node-lzo#11

nodejs/node#21783 (comment) , the solution seems quite simple.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm not directly using the lib in the worker thread, but it is imported with other modules and crashes.
