Accepting either types in method arguments about hxnodejs HOT 5 CLOSED

I also think we need such a type. It shouldn't be named Either because that's a nice name for an enum (which we should add to haxe.ds too by the way). Something like EitherType or TypeChoice would be better.

A selection of multiple types can be achieved through nesting already, so that shouldn't be a concern.

That would look quite ugly. But then again, one could do their own @:genericBuild-powered Either<Rest> abstract.

I've added the EitherType type in the js.node package for now. But I guess it makes sense to move it into the std lib?

I'm in favor of having it in the standard library, it's really convenient for externs. Maybe we could even find a way to restrict it to externs if that's a concern.
