Notable changes:
* buffer: (Breaking) Removed both 'raw' and 'raws' encoding types from Buffer,
these have been deprecated for a long time (Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2859.
* console: (Breaking) Values reported by console.time() now have 3 decimals of
accuracy added (Michaël Zasso) #3166.
* fs:
- fs.readFile*(), fs.writeFile*(), and fs.appendFile*() now also accept a file
descriptor as their first argument (Johannes Wüller) #3163.
- (Breaking) In fs.readFile(), if an encoding is specified and the internal
toString() fails the error is no longer thrown but is passed to the callback
(Evan Lucas) #3485.
- (Breaking) In fs.read() (using the fs.read(fd, length, position, encoding,
callback) form), if the internal toString() fails the error is no longer
thrown but is passed to the callback (Evan Lucas) #3503.
* http:
- Fixed a bug where pipelined http requests would stall (Fedor Indutny) #3342.
- (Breaking) When parsing HTTP, don't add duplicates of the following headers:
Retry-After, ETag, Last-Modified, Server, Age, Expires. This is in addition
to the following headers which already block duplicates: Content-Type,
Content-Length, User-Agent, Referer, Host, Authorization,
Proxy-Authorization, If-Modified-Since, If-Unmodified-Since, From, Location,
Max-Forwards (James M Snell) #3090.
- (Breaking) The callback argument to OutgoingMessage#setTimeout() must be a
function or a TypeError is thrown (James M Snell) #3090.
- (Breaking) HTTP methods and header names must now conform to the RFC 2616
"token" rule, a list of allowed characters that excludes control characters
and a number of separator characters. Specifically, methods and header names
must now match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_!#$%&'*+.^`|~-]+$/ or a TypeError will be thrown
(James M Snell) #2526.
* node:
- (Breaking) Deprecated the _linklist module (Rich Trott) #3078.
- (Breaking) Removed require.paths and require.registerExtension(), both had
been previously set to throw Error when accessed
(Sakthipriyan Vairamani) #2922.
* npm: Upgraded to version 3.3.6 from 2.14.7, see
https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v3.3.6 for more details. This is a
major version bump for npm and it has seen a significant amount of change.
Please see the original npm v3.0.0 release notes for a list of major changes
(Rebecca Turner) #3310.
* src: (Breaking) Bumped NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 47 from 46, this is necessary
due to the V8 upgrade. Native add-ons will need to be recompiled
(Rod Vagg) #3400.
* timers: Attempt to reuse the timer handle for setTimeout().unref(). This fixes
a long-standing known issue where unrefed timers would perviously hold
beforeExit open (Fedor Indutny) #3407.
* tls:
- Added ALPN Support (Shigeki Ohtsu) #2564.
- TLS options can now be passed in an object to createSecurePair()
(Коренберг Марк) #2441.
- (Breaking) The default minimum DH key size for tls.connect() is now 1024
bits and a warning is shown when DH key size is less than 2048 bits. This a security consideration to prevent "logjam" attacks. A new minDHSize TLS
option can be used to override the default. (Shigeki Ohtsu) #1831.
* util:
- (Breaking) util.p() was deprecated for years, and has now been removed
(Wyatt Preul) #3432.
- (Breaking) util.inherits() can now work with ES6 classes. This is considered
a breaking change because of potential subtle side-effects caused by a
change from directly reassigning the prototype of the constructor using
`ctor.prototype = Object.create(superCtor.prototype, { constructor: { ... } })`
to using `Object.setPrototypeOf(ctor.prototype, superCtor.prototype)`
(Michaël Zasso) #3455.
* v8: (Breaking) Upgraded to 4.6.85.25 from 4.5.103.35 (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) #3351.
- Implements the spread operator, see

for further information.
- Implements new.target, see
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new.target

* zlib: Decompression now throws on truncated input (e.g. unexpected end of
file) (Yuval Brik) #2595.

Currently util.format is being used for string templating in tls.
By replacing all of the instances of util.format with backtick
string we can remove the need to require util in tls all together.

This is a reland of https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3165. The patch abates
the truncation of script filenames in the perf-event output produced by V8.
V8 commits:
Original: https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/03ef3cd004c2fd31ae7e48772f106df67b8c2feb
Reland: https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/010897c16adb46d3fe403eab525502a63e174b0c
Original commit message:
improve perf_basic_prof filename reporting
The buffer used for appending filenames to the string printed to the
perf_basic_prof log was unnecessarily too small. Bump it up to be at least
kUtf8BufferSize.
Truncation of filenames makes it really hard to work with profiles gathered on
Node.js. Because of the way Node.js works, you can have node module dependencies
in deeply nested directories. The last thing you want when investigating a
performance problem is to have script names be truncated.
This patch is a stop-gap. Ideally, I want no truncation of the filename at all
and use a dynamically growing buffer. That would be a larger change, and I
wanted to have a quick fix available that can be back-ported to Node.js LTS
release.

Before this commit, sending a SIGUSR1 at program exit could trigger a
hard to reproduce race condition where `v8::Debug::DebugBreak(isolate)`
got called when the isolate was in the process of being torn down.
A similar race condition is in theory possible when sending signals
to two threads simultaneously but I haven't been able to reproduce
that myself (and I tried, oh how I tried.)
This commit fixes the race condition by turning `node_isolate` into
a `std::atomic` and using it as an ad hoc synchronization primitive
in places where that is necessary.
A bare minimum std::atomic polyfill is added for OS X because Apple
wouldn't be Apple if things just worked out of the box.

ALPN is added to tls according to RFC7301, which supersedes NPN.
When the server receives both NPN and ALPN extensions from the client,
ALPN takes precedence over NPN and the server does not send NPN
extension to the client. alpnProtocol in TLSSocket always returns
false when no selected protocol exists by ALPN.
In https server, http/1.1 token is always set when no

Currently there are many instances where assert.fail is directly passed
to a callback for error handling. Unfortunately this will swallow the
error as it is the third argument of assert.fail that sets the message
not the first.
This commit adds a new function to test/common.js that simply wraps
assert.fail and calls it with the provided message.
Tip of the hat to @trott for pointing me in the direction of this.

This PR is the first step enabling support for native modules
for AIX. The main issue is that unlike linux where all
symbols within the Node executable are available to the shared
library for a native module (npm), on AIX the symbols must
be explicitly exported. In addition, when the shared library is
built it must be linked using a list of the available symbols.
This patch covers the changes need to:
1) Export the symbols when building the node executable
2) Generate the file listing the symbols that can be used when
building the shared library.
For AIX, it breaks the build process into 2 steps. The first builds
a static library and then generates a node.exp file which contains
the symbols from that library. The second builds the node executable
and uses the node.exp file to specify which symbols should be
exported. In addition, it save the node.exp file so that it can
later be used in the creation of the shared library when building
a native module.
The following additional steps will be required in dependent projects
to fully enable AIX for native modules and are being worked
separately:
- Updates to node-gyp to use node.exp when creating the
shared library for a native module
- Fixes to gyp related to copying files as covered in
https://codereview.chromium.org/1368133002/patch/1/10001
- Pulling in updated gyp versions to Node and node-gyp
- Pulling latest libuv
These changes were done to minimize the change to other platforms
by working within the existing structure to add the 2 step process
for AIX without changing the process for other platforms.

Simple benchmark:
for (let i = 0; i < 22; i++)
fs.open(__filename, 'r', function() { });
let t = process.hrtime();
for (let i = 0; i < 1e6; i++)

This adds an example of a semi-common promise pattern that could
result in false-positive 'unhandledRejection' events, to help motivate
why there is a dual 'rejectionHandled' event. I anticipate it being
helpful to users who encounter 'unhandledRejection' events that do not
stem from obvious typos such as the JSON.pasre example.
Also cleans up the promise rejection tracking sample. By using a Map
instead of array we can get O(1) deletion and actually record the errors.
And, fixed indentation and backtick usage there to align with the rest of
