Please remove eu-strip from tarball

[kapouer]

nodejs 10.0.0 tarball contains deps/v8/third_party/eu-strip/ which provides a precompiled elf-executable for v8 build bots (i think). It's been added to v8 here:
v8/v8@571076e

This poses some problems:

• the source is not provided (this is the worst problem from the distributor point of view)
• it adds 105ko of useless files

Could it be removed ? Thanks !

I think we can drop it entirely, not just from the tarball. It's only used in the android and fuchsia GN builds.

If we do strip this out we should also update the instructions in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/guides/maintaining-V8.md and the git node v8 command in https://github.com/nodejs/node-core-utils to stop it coming back the next time V8 is updated.

@jvelezpo you're probably better off asking @targos who's done most of the major V8 updates to Node.js.
