Overall improvements to timers.md documentation,
Includes squashed commit from @bengl:
doc: add timer classes
The timers returned by `setTimeout` and friends are
actually instances of `Timeout` and `Immediate`.
Documenting them as such, so that the `ref` and
`unref` methods can be identified as methods on
`Timeout` objects.

* Speed up buffer.swap16 and swap32 by using builtins. Up to ~6x gain.
Drop transition point between JS and C++ implementations accordingly.
Amount of performance improvement not only depends on buffer size but
also memory alignment.
* Fix tests: C++ impl tests were testing 0-filled buffers so were
always passing.
* Add similar buffer.swap64 method.
* Make buffer-swap benchmark mirror JS impl.
doc/api/buffer.markdown has an entry of "added: REPLACEME" that should
be changed to the correct release number before tagged.
Because node is currently using a very old version of cpplint.py it
doesn't know that std::swap() has moved from <algorithm> to <utility> in
c++11. So until cpplint.py is updated simply NOLINT the line.
Technically it should be NOLINT(build/include_what_you_use), but that
puts the line over 80 characters causing another lint error.

- Adds the `breakEvalOnSigint` option to `vm.runIn(This)Context`.
This uses a watchdog thread to wait for SIGINT and generally works
just like the existing `timeout` option.
- Adds a method to the existing timer-based watchdog to check if it
stopped regularly or by running into the timeout. This is used to
tell a SIGINT abort from a timer-based one.
- Adds (internal) `process._{start,stop}SigintWatchdog` methods to
start/stop the watchdog thread used by the above option manually.
This will be used in the REPL to set up SIGINT handling before
entering terminal raw mode, so that there is no time window in
which Ctrl+C fully aborts the process.

zlib constants were previously being added to binding in node_zlib.cc.
This moves the zlib constants to node_constants.cc for consistency with
the recent constants refactoring:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6534
Adds require('zlib').constants to expose the constants
Docs-only deprecates the constants hung directly off require('zlib')
Removes a couple constants from the docs that apparently no longer

When node began using the OneByte API (f150d56) it also switched to
officially supporting ISO-8859-1. Though at the time no new encoding
string was introduced.
Introduce the new encoding string 'latin1' to be more explicit. The
previous 'binary' and documented as an alias to 'latin1'. While many
tests have switched to use 'latin1', there are still plenty that do both
'binary' and 'latin1' checks side-by-side to ensure there is no
regression.
