Currently, fs.truncate() silently fails when a file descriptor
is passed as the first argument. This commit changes this
behavior to properly call fs.ftruncate().

This option has been there for a long time, but has never been
documented. It's functionally identical to the server counterpart.

This updates the default cipher suite to an more secure list, which
prefers strong ciphers with Forward Secrecy. Additionally, it enables
`honorCipherOrder` by default.
Noteable effect of this change is that the insecure RC4 ciphers are
disabled and that Chrome negotiates a more secure ECDHE cipher.

Private keys may be used along with publicEncrypt since the private key
includes the public one. This adds the ability to use encrypted private
keys which previously threw an error. This commit also makes sure the
user exposed functions have names.

The order of the `newListener` and `removeListener` events with respect
to the actual adding and removing from the underlying listeners array
should be deterministic. There is no compelling reason for leaving it
indeterminate. Changing the ordering is likely to result in breaking
code that was unwittingly relying on the current behaviour, and the
indeterminancy makes it impossible to use these events to determine when
the first or last listener is added for an event.

Adds a note that the default padding for publicDecrypt/privateEncrypt
is RSA_PKCS1_PADDING instead of RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING as it is for
privateDecrypt/publicEncrypt.

This makes possible to use `for..of` loop with
buffers. Also related `keys`, `values` and `entries`
methods are added for feature parity with `Uint8Array`.

Setting the default encoding for a writable stream does
not return a boolean (true if successful or false if not)
as the docs indicate. Instead, if the operation is successful
nothing is returned and the method throws an error when
something goes wrong.
This stems from a contribution that was tweaked but the
docs were never updated accordingly.

Previously pseudoRandomBytes worked similarly to randomBytes but in the
event of insufficient entropy would silently return non-secure values.
As of f68a116, the entropy pool blocks if there is insufficient entropy
instead of giving an error so there is now no longer a case where
pseudoRandomBytes would act differently than randomBytes.
Docs are updated to remove pseudoRandomBytes and to clarify that
randomBytes now does block instead of erring when entropy is low.

Updates the docs for the crypto.pseudoRandomBytes function
to more explicitly detail how it's the same as crypto.randomBytes
just without a safety net (e.g. it doesn't throw an error when
there is low entropy).
