Adding an additional example to path.extname documentation
to demonstrate the case where the first character of the last
path component is '.'. This case is interesting, as something
like path.extname('.txt') returns an empty string. In this
case, .txt can be used as a valid file name (while arguably
maintaining an extension). I agree with Node's behavior in this
case, but I think the added example provides additional clarity
for the developer.

This adds a new `--tls-cipher-list` command line switch
that can be used to override the built-in default cipher
list. The intent of this is to make it possible to enforce
an alternative default cipher list at the process level.
Overriding the default cipher list is still permitted at
the application level by changing the value of
`require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.
As part of the change, the built in default list is moved
out of tls.js and into node_constants.h and node_constants.cc.
Two new constants are added to require('constants'):
* defaultCipherList (the active default cipher list)
* defaultCoreCipherList (the built-in default cipher list)
A test case and doc changes are included.
A new NODE_DEFINE_STRING_CONSTANT macro is also created in
node_internals.h
When node_constants is initialized, it will pick up either
the passed in command line switch or fallback to the default
built-in suite.
Within joyent/node, this change had originaly been wrapped
up with a number of other related commits involving the
removal of the RC4 cipher. This breaks out this isolated
change.

v8 introduced the new flag `total_available_size` in version 4.4
and upwards. This flag is now available on `v8.getHeapStatistics`

Upgrade the bundled V8 and update code in src/ and lib/ to the new API.
Notable backwards incompatible changes are the removal of the smalloc
module and dropped support for CESU-8 decoding. CESU-8 support can be
brought back if necessary by doing UTF-8 decoding ourselves.
This commit includes https://codereview.chromium.org/1192973004 to fix
a build error on python 2.6 systems. The original commit log follows:
Use optparse in js2c.py for python compatibility
Without this change, V8 won't build on RHEL/CentOS 6 because the
distro python is too old to know about the argparse module.

Fix Buffer.concat() so a copy is always returned regardless of the
number of buffers that were passed.
Previously if the array length was one then the same same buffer was
returned. This created a special case for the user where there was a
chance mutating the buffer returned by .concat() could mutate the buffer
passed in.
Also fixes an inconsistency when throwing if an array member was not a
Buffer instance. For example:
Buffer.concat([42]); // Returns 42
Buffer.concat([42, 1]); // Throws a TypeError
Now .concat() will always throw if an array member is not a Buffer
instance.

Modifies the dgram send() method to not emit errors when a DNS
lookup fails if there is a callback. Given that the same UDP
socket can be used to send messages to different hosts, the socket
can be reused even if one of those send() fails.
This slightly changes the behavior of a stable API, so that it behaves
as users would expect to.
This is based on https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/7738, which

This patch also includes a test which checks if a file not present, the
