sea: support sea.getRawAsset()

This patch adds support for `sea.getRawAsset()` which is
similar to `sea.getAsset()` but returns the raw asset
in an array buffer without copying. Users should avoid
writing to the returned array buffer. If the injected
section is not marked as writable or not aligned,
writing to the raw asset is likely to result in a crash.

+This method can be used to retrieve the assets configured to be bundled into the
+single-executable application at build time.
+An error is thrown when no matching asset can be found.
+
+Unlike `sea.getRawAsset()` or `sea.getAssetAsBlob()`, this method does not
+return a copy. Instead, it returns the raw asset bundled inside the executable.
+
+For now, users should avoid writing to the returned array buffer. If the
+injected section is not marked as writable or not aligned properly,
+writes to the returned array buffer is likely to result in a crash.
