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.
