Addresses #5566. The `ee.once()` function is currently documented as
invoking the listener, and then removing it when the event is
triggered. However, this is not really the case. The listener is removed
and _then_ invoked. This only matters in a narrow set of use cases, but
when it matters, it matters that the docs are correct.
See the issue (#5566) for a discussion on why the code has not been
modified to match the documentation, but instead the documentation has
been modified to match the code.
Fixes: #5566

In debugger, the usage of `repl` very ugly. I'd like there is a `p`
like gdb. So the `exec` is coming.
Usage:
```
$ ./iojs debug ~/git/node_research/server.js
< Debugger listening on port 5858
connecting to 127.0.0.1:5858 ... ok
break in /Users/jacksontian/git/node_research/server.js:1
> 1 var http = require('http');
2
3 http.createServer(function (req, res) {
debug> exec process.title
/Users/jacksontian/git/io.js/out/Release/iojs
debug>
```
And the `repl`:
```
debug> repl
Press Ctrl + C to leave debug repl
> process.title
'/Users/jacksontian/git/io.js/out/Release/iojs'
debug>
(^C again to quit)
```
The enter and leave debug repl is superfluous.

On Linux and OS X systems, `fs.watch()` resolves the watched path to an

continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no

`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.

[Diffie-Hellman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_exchange#Cryptographic_explanation)
keys are composed of a `generator` a `prime` a `secret_key`
and the `public_key` resulting from the math operation:
```
(generator ^ secret_key) mod prime = public_key
```
Diffie-Hellman keypairs will compute a matching shared secret
if and only if the generator and prime match for both
recipients. The generator is usually **2** and the prime is
what is called a [Safe Prime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_prime).
Usually this matching is accomplished by using
[standard published groups](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3526).
We expose access those groups with the `crypto.getDiffieHellman`
function.
`createDiffieHellman` is trickier to use. The original example
had the user creating 11 bit keys, and creating random groups of
generators and primes. 11 bit keys are very very small, can be
cracked by a single person on a single sheet of paper. A
byproduct of using such small keys were that it was a high
likelihood that two calls of `createDiffieHellman(11)` would
result in using the same 11 bit safe prime.
The original example code would fail when the safe primes generated
at 11 bit lengths did not match for alice and bob.
If you want to use your own generated safe `prime` then the proper
use of `createDiffieHellman` is to pass the `prime` and `generator`
to the recipient's constructor, so that when they compute the shared
secret their `prime` and `generator` match, which is fundamental to
the algorithm.
