Add support for abi stable module API (N-API) as "Experimental feature".
The goal of this API is to provide a stable Node API for native
module developers. N-API aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees
across different Node versions and also across different
Node VMs - allowing N-API enabled native modules to just work
across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilation.
A more detailed introduction is provided in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps/blob/master/005-ABI-Stable-Module-API.md
and https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/blob/doc/VM%20Summit.pdf.
The feature, during its experimental state, will be guarded by a runtime
flag "--napi-modules". Only when this flag is added to the command line
will N-API modules along with regular non N-API modules be supported.
The API is defined by the methods in "src/node_api.h" and
"src/node_api_types.h". This is the best
starting point to review the API surface. More documentation will follow.
In addition to the implementation of the API using V8, which is included
in this PR, the API has also been validated against chakracore and that
port is available in
https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/tree/api-prototype-chakracore-8.x.
The current plan is to provide N-API support in versions 8.X and 6.X
directly. For older versions, such as 4.X or pre N-API versions of 6.X,
we plan to create an external npm module to provide a migration path
that will allow modules targeting older Node.js versions to use the API,
albeit without getting the advantage of not having to recompile.
In addition, we also plan an external npm package with C++ sugar to
simplify the use of the API. The sugar will be in-line only and will
only use the exported N-API methods but is not part of the N-API
itself. The current version is in:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-api.
This PR is a result of work in the abi-stable-node repo:

A side-effect of https://github.com/nodejs/node-private/pull/82
was to remove support for OPENSSL_CONF, as well as removing the default
read of a configuration file on startup.
Partly revert this, allowing OPENSSL_CONF to be used to specify a
configuration file to read on startup, but do not read a file by
default.
If the --openssl-config command line option is provided, its value is
used, not the OPENSSL_CONF environment variable.

This commit adds support for trace-event tracing to Node.js. It provides
a mechanism to centralize tracing information generated by V8, Node
core, and userspace code. It includes:
- A trace writer responsible for serializing traces and cycling the
output files so that no individual file becomes to large.
- A buffer for aggregating traces to allow for batched flushes.
- An agent which initializes the tracing controller and ensures that
trace serialization is done on a separate thread.
- A set of macros for generating trace events.
- Tests and documentation.

This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`
unnecessary.
As part of this, the list of builtin modules and the code for
adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry
is added.

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.
