`Console` constructor checks that `stdout.write()` is a function but
does not do an equivalent check for `stderr.write()`. If `stderr` is not
specified in the constructor, then `stderr` is set to be `stdout`.
However, if `stderr` is specified, but `stderr.write()` is not a
function, then an exception is not thrown until `console.error()` is
called.
This change adds the same check for 'stderr' in the constructor that is
there for `stdout`. If `stderr` fails the check, then a `TypeError` is
thrown.
Took the opportunity to copyedit the `console` doc a little too.

Per https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1817, there are many modules
that currently abuse the private `_events` property on EventEmitter.
One of the ways it is used is to determine if a particular event is
being listened for. This adds a simple `eventNames()` method that
returns an array of the events with currently registered listeners.

unzip the first member and throw away the rest of the compressed data.

The current documentation for writable.write only specifies that the
callback is called "once the data has been fully handled". It is
ambiguous whether this means "successfully handled" and, if so,
whether the callback is called if the data can not be successfully
handled (i.e. an error occurs).
The ambiguity is not only in the documentation. The stream class
implementations differ on this point. stream.Writable invokes the
callback with any errors that occur during parameter checking or
during calls to _write. However, not all classes return all errors
to _write. zlib.Zlib does pass argument and state errors to the
_write (_transform) callback, but does not pass data errors.
http.OutgoingMessage passes argument type errors and some other types
of errors, but not all.
This inconsistency is behind issue #1746 and, I suspect, other issues
in client code which passes a callback to write.
This commit takes no position on whether the callback error behavior
should changed, but simply attempts to document the current behavior
in a way that is open to changes so that users are not caught by
surprise.

In December we announced that we would be doing a minor release in order to
get a number of voted on SEMVER-MINOR changes into LTS. Our ability to release this
was delayed due to the unforeseen security release v4.3. We are quickly bumping to
v4.4 in order to bring you the features that we had committed to releasing.
This release also includes over 70 fixes to our docs and over 50 fixes to tests.
The SEMVER-MINOR changes include:
* deps:
- An update to v8 that introduces a new flag --perf_basic_prof_only_functions (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3609
* http:
- A new feature in http(s) agent that catches errors on *keep alived* connections (José F. Romaniello) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4482
* src:
- Better support for Big-Endian systems (Bryon Leung) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3410
* tls:
- A new feature that allows you to pass common SSL options to `tls.createSecurePair` (Коренберг Марк) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2441
* tools
- a new flag `--prof-process` which will execute the tick processor on the provided isolate files (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4021
Notable semver patch changes include:
* buld:
- Support python path that includes spaces. This should be of particular interest to our Windows users who may have python living in `c:/Program Files` (Felix Becker) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4841
* https:
- A potential fix for https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3692 HTTP/HTTPS client requests throwing EPROTO (Fedor Indutny) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4982
* installer:
- More readable profiling information from isolate tick logs (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3032
* *npm:
- upgrade to npm 2.14.20 (Kat Marchán) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5510
* process:
- Add support for symbols in event emitters. Symbols didn't exist when it was written ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (cjihrig) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4798
* querystring:
- querystring.parse() is now 13-22% faster! (Brian White) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4675
* streams:
- performance improvements for moving small buffers that shows a 5% throughput gain. IoT projects have been seen to be as much as 10% faster with this change! (Matteo Collina) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4354
* tools:
- eslint has been updated to version 2.1.0 (Rich Trott) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5214
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5301
Notable changes:
* openssl: Fully remove SSLv2 support, the `--enable-ssl2` command
line argument will now produce an error. The DROWN Attack
(https://drownattack.com/) creates a vulnerability where SSLv2 is
enabled by a server, even if a client connection is not using SSLv2.
The SSLv2 protocol is widely considered unacceptably broken and
should not be supported. More information is available at
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0800
Note that the upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1s in Node.js v0.12.11 removed
internal SSLv2 support. The change in this release was originally
intended for v0.12.11. The `--enable-ssl2` command line argument now
produces an error rather than being a no-op.
