On 4 April 2017, Node.js versions v4.8.2 and v6.10.2 were
released. These versions bumped the vendored zlib library from
v1.2.8 to v1.2.11 in response to what it describes as low-severity
CVEs. In zlib v1.2.9, a change was made that causes an error to be
raised when a raw deflate stream is initialised with windowBits set
to 8.
In zlib v1.2.9, 8 become an invalid value for this parameter, and Node's zlib
module will crash if you call this:
```
zlib.createDeflateRaw({windowBits: 8})
```
On some versions this crashes Node and you cannot recover from it, while on some
versions it throws an exception. The permessage-deflate library up to
version v0.1.5 does make such a call with no try/catch
This commit reverts to the original behavior of zlib by gracefully changed
windowBits: 8 to windowBits: 9 for raw deflate streams.

Not knowing which APIs use libuv's threadpool can lead to surprising

UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE, which can be used to fix problems.

This commit fixes the Node process crashing when constructors of classes
of the zlib module are given invalid options.
* Throw an Error when the zlib library rejects the value of windowBits,
instead of crashing with an assertion.
* Treat windowBits and memLevel options consistently with other ones and
don't crash when non-numeric values are given.
* Fix bugs in the validation logic:
- Don't conflate 0 and undefined when checking if a field of an
options object exists.
- Treat NaN and Infinity values the same way as values of invalid
types instead of allowing to actually set zlib options to NaN or
Infinity.

zlib constants were previously being added to binding in node_zlib.cc.
This moves the zlib constants to node_constants.cc for consistency with
the recent constants refactoring:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6534
Adds require('zlib').constants to expose the constants
Docs-only deprecates the constants hung directly off require('zlib')
Removes a couple constants from the docs that apparently no longer
exist in the code
