The parameter to `fs.mkdtemp` is actually `prefix`, not `template`,
because the string passed is appended with the randomly generated
string.
The doc link for `fs.mkdtemp()` was missing and it is included in this

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.

On Linux and OS X systems, `fs.watch()` resolves the watched path to an
inode. This clarifies that `fs.watch()` watches the inode and not the
path. If the inode of the path subsequently changes, `fs.watch()` will
continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no
longer be emitted. This is expected behavior.

This makes several changes:
1. Allow path/filename to be passed in as a Buffer on fs methods
2. Add `options.encoding` to fs.readdir, fs.readdirSync, fs.readlink,
fs.readlinkSync and fs.watch.
3. Documentation updates
For 1... it's now possible to do:
```js
fs.open(Buffer('/fs/foo/bar'), 'w+', (err, fd) => { });
```
For 2...
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'hex'}, (err,list) => { });
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'buffer'}, (err, list) => { });
```
encoding can also be passed as a string
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', 'hex', (err,list) => { });
```
The default encoding is set to UTF8 so this addresses the
discrepency that existed previously between fs.readdir and
fs.watch handling filenames differently.

This uses libuv's mkdtemp function to provide a way to create a
temporary folder, using a prefix as the path. The prefix is appended
six random characters. The callback function will receive the name
of the folder that was created.
Usage example:
fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-', function(err, folder) {
console.log(folder);
// Prints: /tmp/foo-Tedi42
});
The fs.mkdtempSync version is also provided. Usage example:
console.log(fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-'));
// Prints: tmp/foo-Tedi42

* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various

These changes affect the following functions and their synchronous
counterparts:
* fs.readFile()
* fs.writeFile()
* fs.appendFile()
If the first parameter is a uint32, it is treated as a file descriptor.
In all other cases, the original implementation is used to ensure
backwards compatibility. File descriptor ownership is never taken from
the user.
The documentation was adjusted to reflect these API changes. A note was
added to make the user aware of file descriptor ownership and the
conditions under which a file descriptor can be used by each of these
functions.
Tests were extended to test for file descriptor parameters under the
conditions noted in the relevant documentation.
