Currently, required modules use the real location of the
package/file as their __filename and __dirname, instead
of the symlinked path if it exists. This behaviour is
undocumented (it even goes against documentation in
certain scenarios), creating hard-to-debug problems
for developers who wish to leverage filesystem abstractions
to lay out their application.
This patch resolves all required modules to their canonical
path while still preserving any symlinks within the path,
instead of resolving to their canonical realpath. The one
special case observed is when the main module is loaded
-- in this case, the realpath does need to be used
in order for the main module to load properly.

This commit improves module loading performance by at least ~25-35%
in the module-loader benchmarks.
Some optimization strategies include:
* Try-finally/try-catch isolation
* Replacing regular expressions with manual parsing
* Avoiding unnecessary string and array creation
* Avoiding constant recompilation of anonymous functions and
function definitions within functions

The vm module's displayErrors option attaches error arrow
messages as a hidden property. Later, core JavaScript code
can optionally decorate the error stack with the arrow message.
However, when user code catches an error, it has no way to
access the arrow message. This commit changes the behavior of
displayErrors to mean "decorate the error stack if an error

Use internalModuleReadFile() to read the file from disk to avoid the
fs.fstatSync() call that fs.readFileSync() makes.
It does so to know the file size in advance so it doesn't have to
allocate O(n) buffers when reading the file from disk.
internalModuleReadFile() is plenty efficient though, even more so
because we want a string and not a buffer. This way we also don't
allocate a buffer that immediately gets thrown away again.
This commit reduces the number of fstat() system calls in a benchmark
application[0] from 549 to 29, all made by the application itself.
