When node began using the OneByte API (f150d56) it also switched to
officially supporting ISO-8859-1. Though at the time no new encoding
string was introduced.
Introduce the new encoding string 'latin1' to be more explicit. The
previous 'binary' and documented as an alias to 'latin1'. While many
tests have switched to use 'latin1', there are still plenty that do both
'binary' and 'latin1' checks side-by-side to ensure there is no
regression.

The require('constants') module is currently undocumented and mashes
together unrelated constants. This refactors the require('constants')
in favor of distinct os.constants, fs.constants, and crypto.constants
that are specific to the modules for which they are relevant. The
next step is to document those within the specific modules.

[Diffie-Hellman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_exchange#Cryptographic_explanation)
keys are composed of a `generator` a `prime` a `secret_key`
and the `public_key` resulting from the math operation:
```
(generator ^ secret_key) mod prime = public_key
```
Diffie-Hellman keypairs will compute a matching shared secret
if and only if the generator and prime match for both
recipients. The generator is usually **2** and the prime is
what is called a [Safe Prime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_prime).
Usually this matching is accomplished by using
[standard published groups](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3526).
We expose access those groups with the `crypto.getDiffieHellman`
function.
`createDiffieHellman` is trickier to use. The original example
had the user creating 11 bit keys, and creating random groups of
generators and primes. 11 bit keys are very very small, can be
cracked by a single person on a single sheet of paper. A
byproduct of using such small keys were that it was a high
likelihood that two calls of `createDiffieHellman(11)` would
result in using the same 11 bit safe prime.
The original example code would fail when the safe primes generated
at 11 bit lengths did not match for alice and bob.
If you want to use your own generated safe `prime` then the proper
use of `createDiffieHellman` is to pass the `prime` and `generator`
to the recipient's constructor, so that when they compute the shared
secret their `prime` and `generator` match, which is fundamental to
the algorithm.

This changes the code blocks from 4-space indentation to ``` fences for
better syntax highlighting and future linting support. Minor On-the-fly
changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is
on the same line as the opening one.
Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
