`Console` constructor checks that `stdout.write()` is a function but
does not do an equivalent check for `stderr.write()`. If `stderr` is not
specified in the constructor, then `stderr` is set to be `stdout`.
However, if `stderr` is specified, but `stderr.write()` is not a
function, then an exception is not thrown until `console.error()` is
called.
This change adds the same check for 'stderr' in the constructor that is
there for `stdout`. If `stderr` fails the check, then a `TypeError` is
thrown.
Took the opportunity to copyedit the `console` doc a little too.

This changes the code blocks from 4-space indentation to ``` fences for
better syntax highlighting and future linting support. Minor On-the-fly
changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is
on the same line as the opening one.
Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
the code style.

`console.time()` and `console.timeEnd()` are very closely related. It's
useful to reference them both from each other.
Previously, console.time() did not mention that it needed to be paired
with a call to console.timeEnd() to be useful, and timeEnd() also failed
to mention that console.time() needed to be called first.
References in both directions have been added.

The parameter parser specifically looked for the old bracket syntax.
This generated a lot of warnings when building the docs. Those warnings
have been fixed by changing the parsing logic.

Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:
fs.write(fd, data[, position[, encoding]], callback)
This simply fixes all uses of bracket notation in documentation.

This features comes from the need of adding extra options when displaying
the object using console.dir().
console.dir() accepts now a second parameter that is passed to util.inspect()
in order to provide extra options to the output. These options are: depth, color
and showHidden. More information about these options in util.inspect() documentation.

The console module has always been called 'stdio' in the
table-of-contents, but nowhere else, since its name is
'console'. This makes it difficult to find.
This is a back-port of commit 226a20d from the master branch.
