Notable changes:
* C++ API: Fedor Indutny contributed a feature to V8 which has been
backported to the V8 bundled in io.js. SealHandleScope allows a C++
add-on author to seal a HandleScope to prevent further, unintended
allocations within it. Currently only enabled for debug builds of
io.js. This feature helped detect the leak in #1075 and is now
activated on the root HandleScope in io.js. (Fedor Indutny) #1395.
* ARM: This release includes significant work to improve the state of
ARM support for builds and tests. The io.js CI cluster's ARMv6,
ARMv7 and ARMv8 build servers are now all (mostly) reporting passing
builds and tests.
- ARMv8 64-bit (AARCH64) is now properly supported, including a
backported fix in libuv that was mistakenly detecting the
existence of `epoll_wait()`. (Ben Noordhuis) #1365.
- ARMv6: #1376 reported a problem with Math.exp() on ARMv6 (incl
Raspberry Pi). The culprit is erroneous codegen for ARMv6 when
using the "fast math" feature of V8. --nofast_math has been turned
on for all ARMv6 variants by default to avoid this, fast math can
be turned back on with --fast_math. (Ben Noordhuis) #1398.
- Tests: timeouts have been tuned specifically for slower platforms,
detected as ARMv6 and ARMv7. (Roman Reiss) #1366.
* npm: Upgrade npm to 2.7.6. See the release notes
(https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v2.7.6) for details.
Don't disable fast math on ARMv7, only ARMv6. I hope I got all the
v6 subarchs.

The memory that was allocated outside of the `smalloc.cc` should not be
tracked using `AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory`. There are no
potential issues except triggering V8's GC way too often.
In fact, `heap.js` is creating a buffer out of the pointer, and since it
doesn't know the size of the pointer - it just creates the maximum
possible `Buffer` instance with a no-op free callback and no hint.

Notable changes:
* npm: upgrade npm to 2.7.5. See the npm CHANGELOG.md for details.
Includes two important security fixes.
https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v275-2015-03-26
* openssl: preliminary work has been done for an upcoming upgrade to
OpenSSL 1.0.2a #1325 (Shigeki Ohtsu). See #589 for additional details.
* timers: a minor memory leak when timers are unreferenced was fixed,
alongside some related timers issues #1330 (Fedor Indutny). This
appears to have fixed the remaining leak reported in #1075.
* android: it is now possible to compile io.js for Android and related
devices #1307 (Giovanny Andres Gongora Granada).
Partially revert 776b73b243.
Following code crashes after backported timer leak fixes:
```javascript
var timer = setInterval(function() {
clearInterval(timer);
}, 10);
timer.unref();
```
Note that this is actually tested in a `test-timers-unref.js`, and is
crashing only with 776b73b243.
Calling `clearInterval` leads to the crashes in case of `.unref()`ed
timers, and might lead to a extra timer spin in case of regular
intervals that was closed during the interval callback. All of these
happens because `.unref()`ed timer has it's own `_handle` and was used
after the `.close()`.

On AIX, OS X and the BSDs, calling shutdown() on one end of a pipe
when the other end has closed the connection fails with ENOTCONN.
The sequential/test-child-process-execsync test failed sporadically
because of a race between the parent and the child where one closed
its end of the pipe before the other got around to calling shutdown()
on its end of the pipe.
Libuv is not the right place to handle that because it can't tell if
the ENOTCONN error is genuine but io.js can.

Notable Changes:
* Windows: The ongoing work in improving the state of Windows support
has resulted in full test suite passes once again. As noted in the
release notes for v1.4.2, CI system and configuration problems
prevented it from properly reporting problems with the Windows
tests, the problems with the CI and the codebase appear to have been
fully resolved.
* FreeBSD: A kernel bug impacting io.js/Node.js was discovered and a
patch has been introduced to prevent it causing problems for io.js
(Fedor Indutny) #1218.
* module: you can now require('.') instead of having to require('./'),
this is considered a bugfix (Michaël Zasso) #1185.
* v8: updated to 4.1.0.25 including patches for --max_old_space_size
values above 4096 and Solaris support, both of which are already
included in io.js.
Ensure that the debug context has an Environment assigned in case
a fatal error is raised.
The fatal exception handler in node.cc is not equipped to deal with
contexts that don't have one and can't easily be taught that due to
a deficiency in the V8 API: there is no way for the embedder to tell
if the data index is in use.

Fix a bug where a size_t was negated and passed to a function that takes
an int64_t. It works by accident when sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(int64_t)
but it causes the value to underflow when size_t is a 32 bits type.
v8::Isolate::AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory() is the function I'm
talking about. The goal of that call is to tell V8 that some memory has
been freed but due to that underflow, we were actually reporting that we
had just allocated gigabytes of memory. It set off a garbage collector
frenzy and essentially brought the VM to a standstill.
