Rather than attempting to keep two versions of docs for timers up to
date, keep them in timers.markdown, and leave references to them in
globals.markdown.
Add setImmediate and clearImmediate to globals.markdown.
Change "To schedule" to "Schedules" in timers.markdown.

Added appropriate in-document links. Clarified a bit of
`setImmediate`, including a quick grammar fix (plural possessive
apostrophe).

`setTimeout()`, `setInterval()` and `setIntermediate` currently
throw errors when receiving non-function objects as their first
argument, but only do so when trying to execute the callback,
i.e. after the waited time has passed. This may complicate
debugging when a lot of calls to `setTimeout()`/etc. are involved,
so failing as early as possible seems like a good idea.
`setTimeout()` historically ignored an falsy first
argument, while the other functions do not and throw instead.
This patch changes this behaviour to make all three match and
adds remarks in the corresponding documentation.

When setTimeout() and setInterval() are called with `delay` greater than
TIMEOUT_MAX (2147483647), the supplied value is ignored and 1 is used
instead. Add a note about this in the timers docs.

Most calls to ref() and unref() are chainable, timers should be
chainable, too.
Typical use:
var to = setTimeout(ontimeout, 123).unref();

This commit replaces instances of io.js with Node.js, based on the

related to build and the installer.

This simplifies the stability index to 4 levels:
0 - deprecated
1 - experimental / feature-flagged
2 - stable
3 - locked
Domains has been downgraded to deprecated, assert has been
downgraded to stable. Timers and Module remain locked. All
other APIs are now stable.

This commit fixes a few grammar issues located
within the doc files for timers and tls.
They primarily include incorrect use of a / an
and a single insertion of a comma.
same as [this PR](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/8581)

In `tls.markdown`, there was a misuse of 'a' which has been replaced
with 'an'.
In `timers.markdown`...
line 31: misuse of 'a', replaced with 'an'
line 59: unclear wording, haywire 'a', added new comma
The parameter parser specifically looked for the old bracket syntax.
This generated a lot of warnings when building the docs. Those warnings
have been fixed by changing the parsing logic.

Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:
fs.write(fd, data[, position[, encoding]], callback)
This simply fixes all uses of bracket notation in documentation.

Mostly quite minor edits. Those possibly of more interest are:
emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
That the limit is per event name for an emitter.
fs.readlink()
Not a path, but rather the symbolic link's string value, which
would be at best a partial path, certainly not a 'resolvedPath'
global.__filename
This may be "well-known" but this is a full path to the module
that referencing code is running in. It is not the main program's
path, unless you are in the main program. Each module knows only
its own path.
server.listen(port,...)
I actually needed this functionality... "gimme just _any_ next port"
stream.end()
stream.destroy()
Yeah, everybody knows what happens to the queued data, but let's
make it *really* explicit for the first readers.
