Change a single word in documentation with a more precise one.
Native is a module compiled in machine "native" code.
A module normally written in a compiled language, not in JavaScript.
Core modules form Node's built-in "core" functionalities.
You don't need to install them. They are included in every Node installation
and documented in https://nodejs.org/api/ .

Document all TLSSocket options:
- All the secure context options are valid options
to a secureContext
- isServer modifies the default value of requestCert
Describe all tls.connect() variants:
- tls.connect(path) was undocumented
- tls.connect(port) was underdocumented, and its relationship to
tls.connect(options) was obscure
Socket passed to tls.connect is user managed:
- Replace https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8996
Add documentation to:
- describe and add tests for the pfx and key variants, and describe how
and when passphrase is used.
- describe tls cert and ca options
- describe buffer forms of tls crl option
- describe tls cipher option and defaults
- fix link to Crypto Constants
- describe that honorCipherOrder sets SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE.
- describe tls ecdhCurve/dhparam options
- describe tls secureProtocol option
- describe tls secureOptions
- describe tls sessionIdContext
De-deduplicate secure context docs:
The secure context options were documented 4 times, making it difficult
to understand where the options come from, where they are supported,
and under what conditions they are used.
The multiple copies were inconsistent and contradictory in their
descriptions of the options, and also inconsistent in whether the
options would be documented at all.
Cut through this gordian knot by linking all APIs that use the
secureContext options to the single source of truth about the options.

Either the options or the listener argument to tls.createServer() was
optional, but not both. This makes no sense, so align the argument
checking and documentation with net.createServer(), which accepts the
same option sequence, and which tls.createServer() is modelled on.

This is a security release of the 'Boron' release line to upgrade
OpenSSL to version 1.0.2k
Although the OpenSSL team have determined a maximum severity rating
of "moderate", the Node.js crypto team (Ben Noordhuis, Shigeki Ohtsu
and Fedor Indutny) have determined the impact to Node users is "low".
Details on this determination can be found on the Nodejs.org website
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-january-2017/
Notable Changes:
* deps:
- upgrade openssl sources to 1.0.2k (Shigeki Ohtsu)

This is a special release that contains 0 commits. While promoting
additional platforms for v6.9.3 after the release, the tarballs on the
release server were overwritten and now have different shasums. In
order to remove any ambiguity around the release we have opted to do a
semver patch release with no changes.
This commit adds a description of `process.versions.modules`,
based on the comment in `src/node_version.h` lines 47-50.
