Libuv now returns errors directly. Make everything in src/ and lib/
follow suit.
The changes to lib/ are not strictly necessary but they remove the need
for the abominations that are process._errno and node::SetErrno().
It will be confusing if later on we add Buffer#dispose(), and smalloc is
its own cpp api anyways. So instead create a new require('smalloc') to
expose the previous Buffer.alloc/dispose methods, and expose copyOnto
and kMaxLength as well.
Other changes:
* Added documentation and additional tests.
* smalloc::CopyOnto has changed from using assert() to throwing errors
on bad argument values because it is not exposed to the user.
* Minor style fixes.
When using url.parse(), path and pathname usually return '/' when there
is no path available. However when you have a protocol that contains
non-lowercase letters and the input string does not have a trailing
slash, both path and pathname will be undefined.
A pooled https agent may get a Connection: close, but never finish
destroying the socket as the prior request had already emitted finish
likely from a pipe.
Since the socket is not marked as destroyed it may get reused by the
agent pool and result in an ECONNRESET.
re: #5712#5739
Instead of destroying sockets when there are no pending requests, put
them in a freeSockets list, and unref() them so that they do not keep
the event loop open.
Also, set the default max sockets to Infinity, to prevent the awful
surprising deadlocks that happen when more connections are made.
When creating a slice, make sure to propagate the originating parent.
This is to prevent a buf.parent.parent.(etc) scenario.
Also speed up the constructor by preventing lookup of non-existant
properties by setting them beforehand in the prototype. (see

There was previously up to a second exit delay when exiting node
right after an http request/response, due to the utcDate() function
doing a setTimeout to update the cached date/time.
Fixing this should increase the performance of our http tests.
This is a big commit that touches just about every file in the src/
directory. The V8 API has changed in significant ways. The most
important changes are:
* Binding functions take a const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<T>& argument
rather than a const v8::Arguments& argument.
* Binding functions return void rather than v8::Handle<v8::Value>. The
return value is returned with the args.GetReturnValue().Set() family
of functions.
* v8::Persistent<T> no longer derives from v8::Handle<T> and no longer
allows you to directly dereference the object that the persistent
handle points to. This means that the common pattern of caching
oft-used JS values in a persistent handle no longer quite works,
you first need to reconstruct a v8::Local<T> from the persistent
handle with the Local<T>::New(isolate, persistent) factory method.
A handful of (internal) convenience classes and functions have been
added to make dealing with the new API a little easier.
The most visible one is node::Cached<T>, which wraps a v8::Persistent<T>
with some template sugar. It can hold arbitrary types but so far it's
exclusively used for v8::Strings (which was by far the most commonly
cached handle type.)
If a transform stream has objectMode = true, it should
allow falsey values other than (null) like 0, false, ''.
null is reserved to indicate stream eof but other falsey
values should flow through properly.

While the new Buffer implementation is much faster we still have the
necessity of using Buffer pools. This is undesirable because it may
still lead to unwanted memory retention, but for the time being this is
the best solution.
Because of this re-introduction, and since there is no more SlowBuffer
type, the SlowBuffer method has been re-purposed to return a non-pooled
Buffer instance. This will be helpful for developers to store data for
indeterminate lengths of time without introducing a memory leak.
Another change to Buffer pools was that they are only allocated if the
requested chunk is < poolSize / 2. This was done because allocations are
much quicker now, and it's a better use of the pool.
Memory allocations are now done through smalloc. The Buffer cc class has
been removed completely, but for backwards compatibility have left the
namespace as Buffer.
The .parent attribute is only set if the Buffer is a slice of an
allocation. Which is then set to the alloc object (not a Buffer).
The .offset attribute is now a ReadOnly set to 0, for backwards
compatibility. I'd like to remove it in the future (pre v1.0).
A few alterations have been made to how arguments are either coerced or
thrown. All primitives will now be coerced to their respective values,
and (most) all out of range index requests will throw.
The indexes that are coerced were left for backwards compatibility. For
example: Buffer slice operates more like Array slice, and coerces
instead of throwing out of range indexes. This may change in the future.
The reason for wanting to throw for out of range indexes is because
giving js access to raw memory has high potential risk. To mitigate that
it's easier to make sure the developer is always quickly alerted to the
fact that their code is attempting to access beyond memory bounds.
Because SlowBuffer will be deprecated, and simply returns a new Buffer
instance, all tests on SlowBuffer have been removed.
Heapdumps will now show usage under "smalloc" instead of "Buffer".
ParseArrayIndex was added to node_internals to support proper uint
argument checking/coercion for external array data indexes.
SlabAllocator had to be updated since handle_ no longer exists.
Split `tls.js` into `_tls_legacy.js`, containing legacy
`createSecurePair` API, and `_tls_wrap.js` containing new code based on
`tls_wrap` binding.
Remove tests that are no longer useful/valid.
This reverts commit a40133d10c.
Unfortunately, this breaks socket.io. Even though it's not strictly an
API change, it is too subtle and in too brittle an area of node, to be
done in a stable branch.

Normalize the encoding in getEncoding() before using it. Fixes a
"AssertionError: Cannot change encoding" exception when the caller
mixes "utf8" and "utf-8".
Fixes#5655.
This is only relevant for CentOS 6.3 using kernel version 2.6.32.
On other linuxes and darwin, the `read` call gets an ECONNRESET in that
case. On sunos, the `write` call fails with EPIPE.
However, old CentOS will occasionally send an EOF instead of a
ECONNRESET or EPIPE when the client has been destroyed abruptly.
Make sure we don't keep trying to write or read more in that case.
Fixes#5504
However, there is still the question of what libuv should do when it
gets an EOF. Apparently in this case, it will continue trying to read,
which is almost certainly the wrong thing to do.
That should be fixed in libuv, even though this works around the issue.
