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.

* buffer: Ignore negative lengths in calls to Buffer() and
Buffer.allocUnsafe(). This fixes a possible security concern
(reported by Feross Aboukhadijeh) where user input is passed
unchecked to the Buffer constructor or allocUnsafe() as it can
expose parts of the memory slab used by other Buffers in the
application. Note that negative lengths are not supported by the
Buffer API and user input to the constructor should always be
sanitised and type-checked.

* tty: Default to blocking mode for stdio on OS X. A bug fix
in libuv 1.9.0, introduced in Node.js v6.0.0, exposed problems with
Node's use of non-blocking stdio, particularly on OS X which has a
small output buffer. This change should fix CLI applications that
have been having problems with output since Node.js v6.0.0 on OS X.
The core team is continuing to address stdio concerns that exist
across supported platforms and progress can be tracked at
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6980.

* V8: Upgrade to V8 5.0.71.52. This includes a fix that addresses

OS X has a tiny 1kb hard-coded buffer size for stdout / stderr to
TTYs (terminals). Output larger than that causes chunking, which ends
up having some (very small but existent) delay past the first chunk.
That causes two problems:
1. When output is written to stdout and stderr at similar times, the
two can become mixed together (interleaved). This is especially
problematic when using control characters, such as \r. With
interleaving, chunked output will often have lines or characters erased
unintentionally, or in the wrong spots, leading to broken output.
CLI apps often extensively use such characters for things such as
progress bars.
2. Output can be lost if the process is exited before chunked writes
are finished flushing. This usually happens in applications that use
`process.exit()`, which isn't infrequent.
See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6980 for more info.
This became an issue as result of the Libuv 1.9.0 upgrade. A fix to
an unrelated issue broke a hack previously required for the OS X
implementation. This resulted in an unexpected behavior change in node.
The 1.9.0 upgrade was done in c3cec1eefc,
which was included in v6.0.0.
