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.

Instead of
myemitter.emit("event", [arg1, arg2, arg3]);
the API is now
myemitter.emit("event", arg1, arg2, arg3);
This change saves the creation of an extra array object for each event.
The implementation is also slightly more simple.
