- Adds new dgram module, for all data-gram type transports
- Supports both UDP client and servers
- Supports Unix Daemon sockets in DGRAM mode too (think syslog)
- Uses a shared Buffer and slices that as needed to be reasonably
performant.
- One supplied test program so far, test-dgram-pingpong
- Passes test cases on osx 10.6 and ubuntu 9.10u
a) create a layer of indirection in net.Stream to allow swapping in
different read/write implementations and
b) emit an 'fd' event when file descriptors are received over a UNIX pipe,
as finally as a tangential benefit
c) remove a bunch of conditionals from the primary codepaths for
ease-of-reading.
This patch makes buffers the preferred output for fs.read() and
fs.readSync(). The old string interface is still supported by
converting buffers to strings dynamically. This allows to remove the
C++ code for string handling which is also part of this patch.

There is a difference between errors which happen to a socket - like
receiving EPIPE - an exceptional situation but ultimately okay and the
situation where code throws in a callback - which is not okay.
Fixes test/simple/test-http-exceptions.js
TODO: explain this in docs.
Previously path.dirname('/tmp') incorrectly returned '.'.
Unfortunately module.js incorrectly thinks dirname('/a/b/') should
yield '/a/b', so I can't strip trailing slashes yet. Once module.js
is fixed, then the commented-out code should be activated and a test
written for it.
