Lint rules permitted the `gc` global in any test file. This change
limits it to just the files that need it.

Some vm tests are not in strict mode because they need to create and use
global variables. By using `global.foo` instead of just `foo`, we can
still enable strict mode.

Enable linting for the test directory. A number of changes was made so
all tests conform the current rules used by lib and src directories. The
only exception for tests is that unreachable (dead) code is allowed.
test-fs-non-number-arguments-throw had to be excluded from the changes
because of a weird issue on Windows CI.

The copyright and license notice is already in the LICENSE file. There
is no justifiable reason to also require that it be included in every
file, since the individual files are not individually distributed except
as part of the entire package.
Functions created using: `vm.runInNewContext('(function() { })')` will
reference only `proxy_global_` object and not `sandbox_`. Thus in case,
where there're no references to sandbox (such as in example above),
`ContextifyContext` will be destroyed and use-after-free might happen.
As documented in #3042 and in [1], the existing vm implementation has
many problems. All of these are solved by @brianmcd's [contextify][2]
package. This commit uses contextify as a conceptual base and its code
core to overhaul the vm module and fix its many edge cases and caveats.
Functionally, this fixes#3042. In particular:
- A context is now indistinguishable from the object it is based on
(the "sandbox"). A context is simply a sandbox that has been marked
by the vm module, via `vm.createContext`, with special internal
information that allows scripts to be run inside of it.
- Consequently, items added to the context from anywhere are
immediately visible to all code that can access that context, both
inside and outside the virtual machine.
This commit also smooths over the API very slightly:
- Parameter defaults are now uniformly triggered via `undefined`, per
ES6 semantics and previous discussion at [3].
- Several undocumented and problematic features have been removed, e.g.
the conflation of `vm.Script` with `vm` itself, and the fact that
`Script` instances also had all static `vm` methods. The API is now
exactly as documented (although arguably the existence of the
`vm.Script` export is not yet documented, just the `Script` class
itself).
In terms of implementation, this replaces node_script.cc with
node_contextify.cc, which is derived originally from [4] (see [5]) but
has since undergone extensive modifications and iterations to expose
the most useful C++ API and use the coding conventions and utilities of
Node core.
The bindings exposed by `process.binding('contextify')`
(node_contextify.cc) replace those formerly exposed by
`process.binding('evals')` (node_script.cc). They are:
- ContextifyScript(code, [filename]), with methods:
- runInThisContext()
- runInContext(sandbox, [timeout])
- makeContext(sandbox)
From this, the vm.js file builds the entire documented vm module API.
node.js and module.js were modified to use this new native binding, or
the vm module itself where possible. This introduces an extra line or
two into the stack traces of module compilation (and thus into most
stack traces), explaining the changed tests.
The tests were also updated slightly, with all vm-related simple tests
consolidated as test/simple/test-vm-* (some of them were formerly
test/simple/test-script-*). At the same time they switched from
`common.debug` to `console.error` and were updated to use
`assert.throws` instead of rolling their own error-testing methods.
New tests were also added, of course, demonstrating the new
capabilities and fixes.

Squashed commit:
(- re tests) Cleaning up the `Script` test suite.
For whatever reason, there were several duplicate test files related to `Script`
and the `'vm'` module. I removed these, and fixed a few other small issues.
(More fixes coming in subsequent commits.)

(api fix:1801 new:1801) `'vm'` module uses sandbox as prototype
As described in GH-1801, the `'vm'` module was handling the `sandbox` object
provided by the API consumer in a particularly terrible and fragile fashion: it
was simply shallow-copying any enumerable properties from the sandbox onto the
global context before executing the code, and then eventually copying any values
on the global context back into the sandbox object *afterwards*.
This commit removes all of that implementation, and utilizes the passed sandbox
object as the *prototype of the context* instead. A bit of a hack, but a very
effective one.
This no longer allows for new variables created in the global context to be
placed into your sandbox after execution has completed, but that’s for the best
anyway, as it’s not very in line with the concept of a “box of passed-in
context.” I’m planning to further implement an interface for API consumers to
acquire the *actual global* from within the VM soon, thus allowing for
separation-of-concerns: providing data *to* the VM via the sandbox-prototype,
and exploring the internal environment of the VM itself.
