The path module's `join, normalize, isAbsolute, relative and resolve`
functions return/use the current directory if they are passed zero
length strings.

Since empty paths are not valid in any of the operating systems people
normally use, this behaviour might be a surprise to the users. This
commit introduces "Notes" about this, wherever applicable in `path`'s
documentation.
The tests makes sure that the behaviour is intact between
commits.

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.

The parse() function splits a path and returns an object
with the different elements. The format() function is the
reverse of this and adds an objects corresponding path
elements to make up a string. Fixes#6976.

Add path.posix and path.win32 which have the specific methods like
resolve and normalize so you can specifically normalize or resolve
based on the target platform.

The parameter parser specifically looked for the old bracket syntax.
This generated a lot of warnings when building the docs. Those warnings
have been fixed by changing the parsing logic.

Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:
fs.write(fd, data[, position[, encoding]], callback)
This simply fixes all uses of bracket notation in documentation.

An absolute path will always open the same location regardless of your
current working directory. For posix, this just means path.charAt(0) ===
'/', but on Windows it's a little more complicated.
Fixesjoyent/node#5299.
`path.exists*` functions show a deprecation warning and call functions
from `fs`. They should be removed later.
test: fix references to `path.exists*` in tests
test fs: add test for `fs.exists` and `fs.existsSync`
doc: reflect moving `path.exists*` to `fs`
Mostly quite minor edits. Those possibly of more interest are:
emitter.setMaxListeners(n)
That the limit is per event name for an emitter.
fs.readlink()
Not a path, but rather the symbolic link's string value, which
would be at best a partial path, certainly not a 'resolvedPath'
global.__filename
This may be "well-known" but this is a full path to the module
that referencing code is running in. It is not the main program's
path, unless you are in the main program. Each module knows only
its own path.
server.listen(port,...)
I actually needed this functionality... "gimme just _any_ next port"
stream.end()
stream.destroy()
Yeah, everybody knows what happens to the queued data, but let's
make it *really* explicit for the first readers.
