Adds two new command line arguments: * `--secure-heap=n`, which causes node.js to initialize an openssl secure heap of `n` bytes on openssl initialization. * `--secure-heap-min=n`, which specifies the minimum allocation from the secure heap. * A new method `crypto.secureHeapUsed()` that returns details about the total and used secure heap allocation. The secure heap is an openssl feature that allows certain kinds of potentially sensitive information (such as private key BigNums) to be allocated from a dedicated memory area that is protected against pointer over- and underruns. The secure heap is a fixed size, so it's important that users pick a large enough size to cover the crypto operations they intend to utilize. The secure heap is disabled by default.
