 Stop all JavaScript execution in the worker thread as soon as possible.
-`callback` is an optional function that is invoked once this operation is known
-to have completed.

-**Warning**: Currently, not all code in the internals of Node.js is prepared to
-expect termination at arbitrary points in time and may crash if it encounters
-that condition. Consequently, only call `.terminate()` if it is known that the
-Worker thread is not accessing Node.js core modules other than what is exposed
-in the `worker` module.
