Descrizione
Issue or Feature
I've been experimenting with worker threads in node.js recently and noticed that the canvas module does not appear to be context-aware. In other words, the module will load/instantiate once, but as soon as another thread attempts to require canvas for it's own use, the following error is thrown:
Error: Module did not self-register.

Steps to Reproduce
In main thread...
const {Worker} = require('worker_threads');
var worker1 = new Worker('./child-thread.js');
var worker2 = new Worker('./child-thread.js');
// etc.
In child-thread.js...
var Canvas = require('canvas');
var canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(200, 200);
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// etc.
