The fact that process.exit() interrupts pending async operations
such as non-blocking i/o is becoming a bit more pronounced with
the recent libuv update. This commit expands the documentation
for `process.exit()` to explain clearly how it affects async
operations.

Addresses #5566. The `ee.once()` function is currently documented as
invoking the listener, and then removing it when the event is
triggered. However, this is not really the case. The listener is removed
and _then_ invoked. This only matters in a narrow set of use cases, but
when it matters, it matters that the docs are correct.
See the issue (#5566) for a discussion on why the code has not been
modified to match the documentation, but instead the documentation has
been modified to match the code.

There is no official way to figure out if the socket that you have on
hand is still connecting to the remote host. Introduce
`Socket#connecting`, which is essentially an unprefixed `_connecting`
property that we already had.

* Remove unnecessary templating from SearchString
SearchString used to have separate PatternChar and SubjectChar template type
arguments, apparently to support things like searching for an 8-bit string
inside a 16-bit string or vice versa. However, SearchString is only used from
node_buffer.cc, where PatternChar and SubjectChar are always the same. Since
this is extra complexity that's unused and untested (simplifying to a single
Char template argument still compiles and didn't break any unit tests), I
removed it.
* Use Boyer-Hoore[-Horspool] for both indexOf and lastIndexOf
Add test cases for lastIndexOf. Test the fallback from BMH to
Boyer-Moore, which looks like it was totally untested before.
* Extra bounds checks in node_buffer.cc
* Extra asserts in string_search.h
* Buffer.lastIndexOf: clean up, enforce consistency w/ String.lastIndexOf
* Polyfill memrchr(3) for non-GNU systems

A handful of modules (including readable-streams) make
inappropriate use of the internal _events property. One
such use is to prepend an event listener to the front
of the array of listeners.
This adds EE.prototype.prependListener() and
EE.prototype.prependOnceListener() methods to add handlers
to the *front* of the listener array.
Doc update and test case is included.

The intention behind is to present the user a way to
execute code in a vm context. The current API doesn't
allow this out-of-the-box, since it is neither passing a require
function nor creating context with one.
The missing docs for this behaviour have produced a number of
Q&A items and have also been discussed in the node-archive repo.
In both cases there was no real canonical answer.

Make the builtin libraries available for the `--eval` and
`--print` CLI options, using the same mechanism that the
REPL uses.
This renders workarounds like `node -e 'require("fs").doStuff()'`
unnecessary.
As part of this, the list of builtin modules and the code for
adding the corresponding properties to the target context is moved
to `internal/module.js`, and the previously missing `repl` entry
is added.

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.

Up to now, `Z_FINISH` was always the flushing flag that was used
for the last chunk of input data. This patch makes this choice
configurable so that advanced users can perform e.g. decompression of
partial data using `Z_SYNC_FLUSH`, if that suits their needs.
Add tests to make sure that an error is thrown upon encountering
invalid `flush` or `finishFlush` flags.
