I have seen a lot of people trying to pass objects to crypto's update
functions, assuming that it would somehow serialize the object before
hashing.
In reality, the object was converted to '[object Object]' which was
then hashed, without any error message showing.
This patch modifies the DecodeBytes function (used exclusively by
crypto at this point) to complain when receiving anything but a
string or buffer.
Overall this should be a less-suprising, more robust behavior.
This does 3 things:
1. Delimiters and "unwise" characters are never included in the
hostname or path.
2. url.format will sanitize string URLs that are passed to it.
3. The parsed url's 'href' member will be the sanitized url, which may
not match the argument to url.parse.
Problem: Omitting the mode parameter causes the provided callback
parameter to never fire. This was originally fixed in 6078c37b and
later broken in 5f2e9093.
Solution: Overwriting the value of a parameter also overwrites the
reference in the arguments object. This patch works arround this
fact by not touching the mode parameter until a reference to the
callback has been established.
This works for both ServerResponse and ClientRequest.
Adds three new methods as a couple properties to to OutgoingMessage objects.

This adds support for a cache object to be passed to the
fs.realpath and fs.realpathSync functions. The Module loader keeps an
object around which caches the resulting realpaths that it looks up in
the process of loading modules.
This means that (at least as a result of loading modules) the same files
and folders are never lstat()ed more than once. To reset the cache, set
require("module")._realpathCache to an empty object. To disable the
caching behavior, set it to null.
