Our documentation uses em dashes inconsistently. They are treated
inconsistently typographically too. (For example, they are sometimes
surrounded by spaces and sometimes not.) They are also often confused
with ordinary hyphens such as in the CHANGELOG, where they are
inadvertently mixed together in a single list. The difference is
not obvious in the raw markdown but is very noticeable when rendered,
appearing to be a typographical error (which it in fact is).
The em dash is never needed. There are always alternatives. Remove em
dashes entirely.

Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of _Node.js_ as
_Node.js'_ and other times as _Node.js's_. The former conforms with some
generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while
the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).
Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is
correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and
sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to
eliminate the possessive form where possible.
This is one of those examples.

The use of dashes -- in general, but especially in our docs -- can be
problematic. It is used inconsistently and there is always another form
of punctuation that is as good or better for the situation. In an effort
to reduce the number of variations we use to display the same types of
information, remove the various uses of dashes from the documentation.

Adds the ability to `import` or `require` a package from within its
own source code. This allows tests and examples to be written using
the package name, making them easier to reuse by consumers of the
package.
Assuming the `name` field in `package.json` is set to `my-pkg`, its
test could use `require('my-pkg')` or `import 'my-pkg'` even if
there's no `node_modules/my-pkg` while testing the package itself.
An important difference between this and relative specifiers like
`require('../')` is that self-references use the public interface
of the package as defined in the `exports` field while relative
specifiers don't.
This behavior is guarded by a new experimental flag
(`--experimental-resolve-self`).

Notable changes:
* deps:
* Updated llhttp to 1.1.3. This fixes a bug that made Node.js' HTTP
parser refuse any request URL that contained the "|" (vertical bar)
character. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27595
* tls:
* Added an `enableTrace()` method to `TLSSocket` and an `enableTrace`
option to `tls.createServer()`. When enabled, TSL packet trace
information is written to `stderr`. This can be used to debug TLS
connection problems. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27376
* cli:
* Added a `--trace-tls` command-line flag that enables tracing of TLS
connections without the need to modify existing application code.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27497
* Added a `--cpu-prof-interval` command-line flag. It can be used to
specify the sampling interval for the CPU profiles generated by
`--cpu-prof`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27535
* module:
* Added the `createRequire()` method. It allows to create a require
function from a file URL object, a file URL string or an absolute
path string. The existing `createRequireFromPath()` method is now
deprecated https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27405.
* Throw on `require('./path.mjs')`. This is technically a breaking
change that should have landed with Node.js 12.0.0. It is necessary
to have this to keep the possibility for a future minor version to
load ES Modules with the require function.

* repl:
* The REPL now supports multi-line statements using `BigInt` literals
as well as public and private class fields and methods.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/27400
* The REPL now supports tab autocompletion of file paths with `fs`
methods. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/26648

We currently ignore invalid `main` entries in package.json files.
This does not seem to be very user friendly as it's certainly an
error if the `main` entry is not a valid file name. So instead of
trying to resolve the file otherwise, throw an error immediately to
improve the user experience.
To keep it backwards compatible `index.js` files in the same directory
as the `package.json` will continue to be resolved instead but that
behavior is now deprecated.
