* The header's comments were written incorrectly. A comment line in Roff
starts with a .\" sequence, whereas .\ is attempting to call a command
whose name starts with a space. Because Roff interpreters will discard
unrecognised control lines, the malformed "comments" were just noops.
* Repeating font macros have been used to format the synopsis instead of
escape sequences (\fB…\fR). This makes for admittedly more sustainable
source code for an editor who lacks knowledge of Roff.
* A basic macro has been added to insert highlighted URLs with less line
noise. To insert a bold and underlined URL on a new line, one only has
to write ".ur http://…"

This backports the --zero-fill-buffers command line flag introduced
in master. When used, all Buffer and SlowBuffer instances will zero
fill by default.
This does *not* backport any of the other Buffer API or behavior

This commit replaces instances of io.js with Node.js, based on the
recent convergence. There are some remaining instances of io.js,
related to build and the installer.

This adds a new `--tls-cipher-list` command line switch
that can be used to override the built-in default cipher
list. The intent of this is to make it possible to enforce
an alternative default cipher list at the process level.
Overriding the default cipher list is still permitted at
the application level by changing the value of
`require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.
As part of the change, the built in default list is moved
out of tls.js and into node_constants.h and node_constants.cc.
Two new constants are added to require('constants'):
* defaultCipherList (the active default cipher list)
* defaultCoreCipherList (the built-in default cipher list)
A test case and doc changes are included.
A new NODE_DEFINE_STRING_CONSTANT macro is also created in
node_internals.h
When node_constants is initialized, it will pick up either
the passed in command line switch or fallback to the default
built-in suite.
Within joyent/node, this change had originaly been wrapped
up with a number of other related commits involving the
removal of the RC4 cipher. This breaks out this isolated
change.

This patch adds a command line option (-r/--require) that allows one
to provide modules on the command line that will be 'required' during
node startup. This can be useful for debugging, tracing, memory leak
analysis etc. to be preloaded without explicit changes to the user
script. The option can be repeated to preload multiple modules.

This feature has no tests and has been broken for ages, see for example
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1160. Don't bother fixing it, it's
pretty much broken by design and there can't be too many users because
it's almost undocumented. A quick Google search suggests that it causes
more grief than joy to the few that do use it. Remove it.

-r/--require can be used to preload modules on node startup. The option
takes a single module name. The option can be repeated as necessary to
preload multiple modules.
This patch allows 'vendors' (such a cloud host) to inject functionality
that gets executed at application startup without requiring an explicit
require from the user's application. This can be useful to load vendor
specific application monitoring APIs transparently.
