OS X has a tiny 1kb hard-coded buffer size for stdout / stderr to
TTYs (terminals). Output larger than that causes chunking, which ends
up having some (very small but existent) delay past the first chunk.
That causes two problems:
1. When output is written to stdout and stderr at similar times, the
two can become mixed together (interleaved). This is especially
problematic when using control characters, such as \r. With
interleaving, chunked output will often have lines or characters erased
unintentionally, or in the wrong spots, leading to broken output.
CLI apps often extensively use such characters for things such as
progress bars.
2. Output can be lost if the process is exited before chunked writes
are finished flushing. This usually happens in applications that use
`process.exit()`, which isn't infrequent.
See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6980 for more info.
This became an issue as result of the Libuv 1.9.0 upgrade. A fix to
an unrelated issue broke a hack previously required for the OS X
implementation. This resulted in an unexpected behavior change in node.
The 1.9.0 upgrade was done in c3cec1eefc,
which was included in v6.0.0.

In several places throughout the code we write directly to stderr
to report warnings (deprecation, possible eventemitter memory leak).
The current design of simply dumping the text to stderr is less
than ideal. This PR introduces a new "process warnings" mechanism
that emits 'warning' events on the global process object. These are
invoked with a `warning` argument whose value is an Error object.
By default, these warnings will be printed to stderr. This can be
suppressed using the `--no-warnings` and `--no-deprecation` command
line flags. For warnings, the 'warning' event will still be emitted
by the process, allowing applications to handle the warnings in custom
ways. The existing `--no-deprecation` flag will continue to supress
all deprecation output generated by the core lib.
The `--trace-warnings` command line flag will tell Node.js to print
the full stack trace of warnings as part of the default handling.
The existing `--no-deprecation`, `--throw-deprecation` and
`--trace-deprecation` flags continue to work as they currently do,
but the exact output of the warning message is modified to occur
on process.nextTick().
The stack trace for the warnings and deprecations preserve and point
to the correct call site.
A new `process.emitWarning()` API is provided to permit userland
to emit warnings and deprecations using the same consistent
mechanism.
Test cases and documentation are included.
