This has been dragged through various long discussions and has been
elevated to the CTC multiple times.
As noted in
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7455#issuecomment-228961530,
while this API is still generally considered an anti-pattern, there are
still use-cases it is best suited for, such as checking if a git rebase
is in progress by looking if ".git/rebase-apply/rebasing" exists.
The general consensus is to undeprecate just the sync version, given
that the async version still has the "arguments order inconsistency"
problem.
The consensus at the two last CTC meetings this came up at was also
to undeprecate existsSync() but keep exists() deprecated.

On Linux and OS X systems, `fs.watch()` resolves the watched path to an
inode. This clarifies that `fs.watch()` watches the inode and not the
path. If the inode of the path subsequently changes, `fs.watch()` will
continue watching the original inode and events for the path will no
longer be emitted. This is expected behavior.

This makes several changes:
1. Allow path/filename to be passed in as a Buffer on fs methods
2. Add `options.encoding` to fs.readdir, fs.readdirSync, fs.readlink,
fs.readlinkSync and fs.watch.
3. Documentation updates
For 1... it's now possible to do:
```js
fs.open(Buffer('/fs/foo/bar'), 'w+', (err, fd) => { });
```
For 2...
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'hex'}, (err,list) => { });
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', {encoding:'buffer'}, (err, list) => { });
```
encoding can also be passed as a string
```js
fs.readdir('/fs/foo/bar', 'hex', (err,list) => { });
```
The default encoding is set to UTF8 so this addresses the
discrepency that existed previously between fs.readdir and
fs.watch handling filenames differently.

This uses libuv's mkdtemp function to provide a way to create a
temporary folder, using a prefix as the path. The prefix is appended
six random characters. The callback function will receive the name
of the folder that was created.
Usage example:
fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-', function(err, folder) {
console.log(folder);
// Prints: /tmp/foo-Tedi42
});
The fs.mkdtempSync version is also provided. Usage example:
console.log(fs.mkdtemp('/tmp/foo-'));
// Prints: tmp/foo-Tedi42
