The require('constants') module is currently undocumented and mashes
together unrelated constants. This refactors the require('constants')
in favor of distinct os.constants, fs.constants, and crypto.constants
that are specific to the modules for which they are relevant. The
next step is to document those within the specific modules.

Via git spelunking, mostly.
Some functions have been renamed. Used the version in which they were
renamed.

os.userInfo() calls libuv's uv_os_get_passwd() function. It returns
an object containing the current effective user's username, uid,
gid, shell, and home directory. On Windows, the uid and gid are
-1, and the shell is null.

This changes the code blocks from 4-space indentation to ``` fences for
better syntax highlighting and future linting support. Minor On-the-fly
changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is
on the same line as the opening one.
Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
the code style.

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.

Some doc update based on improvement ideas I remember from when I used this module in node:
- Mention windows returns 0 for `nice` values (which is obvious, but io makes no attempt to calculate something similar or return undefined, 0 is returned)
- Mention platform and arch are aliases for `process` properties.
- Document possible return values where appropriate, add examples in others.
- Rename title in order to match other titles in the navigation.
- Fix line that was over 80 characters long.

Also sneak in a fix for a typo that I introduced in commit 56c5806.
