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.

Based on the conversation in #4243 this implements a way to increase
and decrease the size of the thread pool used in v8.
Currently v8 restricts the thread pool size to `kMaxThreadPoolSize`
which at this commit is (4). So it is only possible to
decrease the thread pool size at the time of this commit. However with
changes upstream this could change at a later date.
If set to 0 then v8 would choose an appropriate size of the thread pool
based on the number of online processors.

This adds a new `--tls-cipher-list` command line switch
that can be used to override the built-in default cipher
list. The intent of this is to make it possible to enforce
an alternative default cipher list at the process level.
Overriding the default cipher list is still permitted at
the application level by changing the value of
`require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.
As part of the change, the built in default list is moved
out of tls.js and into node_constants.h and node_constants.cc.
Two new constants are added to require('constants'):
* defaultCipherList (the active default cipher list)
* defaultCoreCipherList (the built-in default cipher list)
A test case and doc changes are included.
A new NODE_DEFINE_STRING_CONSTANT macro is also created in
node_internals.h
When node_constants is initialized, it will pick up either
the passed in command line switch or fallback to the default
built-in suite.
Within joyent/node, this change had originaly been wrapped
up with a number of other related commits involving the
removal of the RC4 cipher. This breaks out this isolated
change.

This patch adds a command line option (-r/--require) that allows one
to provide modules on the command line that will be 'required' during
node startup. This can be useful for debugging, tracing, memory leak
analysis etc. to be preloaded without explicit changes to the user
script. The option can be repeated to preload multiple modules.

This feature has no tests and has been broken for ages, see for example
https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1160. Don't bother fixing it, it's
pretty much broken by design and there can't be too many users because
it's almost undocumented. A quick Google search suggests that it causes
more grief than joy to the few that do use it. Remove it.

-r/--require can be used to preload modules on node startup. The option
takes a single module name. The option can be repeated as necessary to
preload multiple modules.
This patch allows 'vendors' (such a cloud host) to inject functionality
that gets executed at application startup without requiring an explicit
require from the user's application. This can be useful to load vendor
specific application monitoring APIs transparently.
