This commit makes multiple important changes:
1. A new key object API is introduced. The KeyObject class itself is
not exposed to users, instead, several new APIs can be used to
construct key objects: createSecretKey, createPrivateKey and
createPublicKey. The new API also allows to convert between
different key formats, and even though the API itself is not
compatible to the WebCrypto standard in any way, it makes
interoperability much simpler.
2. Key objects can be used instead of the raw key material in all
relevant crypto APIs.
3. The handling of asymmetric keys has been unified and greatly
improved. Node.js now fully supports both PEM-encoded and
DER-encoded public and private keys.
4. Conversions between buffers and strings have been moved to native
code for sensitive data such as symmetric keys due to security
considerations such as zeroing temporary buffers.
5. For compatibility with older versions of the crypto API, this
change allows to specify Buffers and strings as the "passphrase"
option when reading or writing an encoded key. Note that this
can result in unexpected behavior if the password contains a
null byte.

This fixes the incorrect enumerations of their possible values, which
weren't up to date with the values actually supported. Also renamed
two arguments that used "format" when they meant "encoding".

Notable changes:
* assert
* The diff output is now a tiny bit improved by sorting object
properties when inspecting the values that are compared with each
other. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* cli
* The options parser now normalizes `_` to `-` in all multi-word
command-line flags, e.g. `--no_warnings` has the same effect as
`--no-warnings`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23020
* Added bash completion for the `node` binary. To generate a bash
completion script, run `node --completion-bash`. The output can be
saved to a file which can be sourced to enable completion.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20713
* crypto
* Added support for PEM-level encryption.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23151
* Added an API asymmetric key pair generation. The new methods
`crypto.generateKeyPair` and `crypto.generateKeyPairSync` can be
used to generate public and private key pairs. The API supports
RSA, DSA and EC and a variety of key encodings (both PEM and DER).
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22660
* fs
* Added a `recursive` option to `fs.mkdir` and `fs.mkdirSync`. If
this option is set to true, non-existing parent folders will be
automatically created. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21875
* http2
* Added a `'ping'` event to `Http2Session` that is emitted whenever a
non-ack `PING` is received.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23009
* Added support for the `ORIGIN` frame.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22956
* Updated nghttp2 to 1.34.0. This adds RFC 8441 extended connect
protocol support to allow use of WebSockets over HTTP/2.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23284
* module
* Added `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`. This new method can
be used to create a custom require function that will resolve
modules relative to the filename path.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/19360
* process
* Added a `'multipleResolves'` process event that is emitted whenever
a `Promise` is attempted to be resolved multiple times, e.g. if the
`resolve` and `reject` functions are both called in a `Promise`
executor. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22218
* url
* Added `url.fileURLToPath(url)` and `url.pathToFileURL(path)`. These
methods can be used to correctly convert between file: URLs and
absolute paths. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22506
* util
* Added the `sorted` option to `util.inspect()`. If set to `true`,
all properties of an object and Set and Map entries will be sorted
in the returned string. If set to a function, it is used as a
compare function. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22788
* The `util.instpect.custom` symbol is now defined in the global
symbol registry as `Symbol.for('nodejs.util.inspect.custom')`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/20857
* Added support for `BigInt` numbers in `util.format()`.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22097
* V8 API
* A number of V8 C++ APIs have been marked as deprecated since they
have been removed in the upstream repository. Replacement APIs
are added where necessary. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23159
* Windows
* The Windows msi installer now provides an option to automatically
install the tools required to build native modules.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22645
* Workers
* Debugging support for Workers using the DevTools protocol has been
implemented. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/21364
* The public `inspector` module is now enabled in Workers.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22769
* Added new collaborators:

I assume that permitting digest === null was unintentional when
digest === undefined was deprecated since their behavior was
equivalent. The sha1 default for digest === null has somehow made it
through refactoring of the PBKDF2 module multiple times, even though
digest === undefined has been EOL for some time now.
This change deprecates setting digest to null so we can fix the
behavior in Node.js 12 or so.

Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function that is designed to
be expensive both computationally and memory-wise in order to make
brute-force attacks unrewarding.
OpenSSL has had support for the scrypt algorithm since v1.1.0. Add a
Node.js API modeled after `crypto.pbkdf2()` and `crypto.pbkdf2Sync()`.
Changes:
* Introduce helpers for copying buffers, collecting openssl errors, etc.
* Add new infrastructure for offloading crypto to a worker thread.
* Add a `AsyncWrap` JS class to simplify pbkdf2(), randomBytes() and
scrypt().
