Remove the 'gc' event from the v8 module and remove the supporting
infrastructure from src/. It gets the axe because:
1. There are currently no users. It was originally conceived as
an upstreamed subset of StrongLoop's strong-agent GC metrics,
but the strong-agent code base has evolved considerably since
that time and has no use anymore for what is in core.
2. The implementation is not quite sound. It calls into JS land
from inside the GC epilog and that is unsafe. We could fix
that by delaying the callback until a safe time but because
there are no users anyway, removing it is all around easier.

Call a user-defined callback at specific points in the lifetime of an
asynchronous event. Which are on instantiation, just before/after the
callback has been run.
**If any of these callbacks throws an exception, there is no forgiveness
or recovery. A message will be displayed and a core file dumped.**
Currently these only tie into AsyncWrap, meaning no call to a hook
callback will be made for timers or process.nextTick() events. Though
those will be added in a future commit.
Here are a few notes on how to make the hooks work:
- The "this" of all event hook callbacks is the request object.
- The zero field (kCallInitHook) of the flags object passed to
setupHooks() must be set != 0 before the init callback will be called.
- kCallInitHook only affects the calling of the init callback. If the
request object has been run through the create callback it will always
run the before/after callbacks. Regardless of kCallInitHook.
- In the init callback the property "_asyncQueue" must be attached to
the request object. e.g.
function initHook() {
this._asyncQueue = {};
}
- DO NOT inspect the properties of the object in the init callback.
Since the object is in the middle of being instantiated there are some
cases when a getter is not complete, and doing so will cause Node to
crash.

Async Listener was the name of the user-facing JS API, and is being
completely removed. Instead low level hooks directly into the mechanism
that AL used will be introduced in a future commit.

There is not much point in keeping it a separate project because it
doesn't build standalone, plus it makes applying changes to core more
difficult because of the implicit dependency on header files in src/.
Now that we are building with C++11 features enabled, replace use
of NULL with nullptr.
The benefit of using nullptr is that it can never be confused for
an integral type because it does not support implicit conversions
to integral types except boolean - unlike NULL, which is defined
as a literal `0`.
Attach the per-context execution environment directly to API functions.
Rationale:
* Gets node one step closer to multi-isolate readiness.
* Avoids multi-context confusion, e.g. when the caller and callee live
in different contexts.
* Avoids expensive calls to pthread_getspecific() on platforms where
V8 does not know how to use the thread-local storage directly.

Running fill() with an empty string would cause Node to hang
indefinitely. Now it will return without having operated on the buffer.
User facing function has been pulled into JS to perform all initial
value checks and coercions. The C++ method has been placed on the
"internal" object.
Coerced non-string values to numbers to match v0.10 support.
Simplified logic and changed a couple variable names.
Added tests for fill() and moved them all to the beginning of
buffer-test.js since many other tests depend on fill() working properly.

When process._setupNextTick() was introduced as the means to properly
initialize the mechanism behind process.nextTick() a chunk of code was
left behind that assigned memory to process._tickInfo. This code is no
longer needed.
compare() works like String.localeCompare such that:
Buffer.compare(a, b) === a.compare(b);
equals() does a native check to see if two buffers are equal.

By building the fs.Stats object in JS, which is returned by all fs stat
functions, calls to v8::Object::Set() are removed. This also includes
creating all associated Date objects in JS, rather than using
v8::Date::New(). Both these changes have significant performance gains.
Note that the returned value from fs.stat changes slightly for non-POSIX
systems. Whereas before the stats object would be missing blocks and
blksize keys, it now has these keys with undefined as the value.

Add a new 'tracing' module with a v8 property that lets the user
register listeners for gc events. The listeners are invoked after
every garbage collection cycle with 'before' and 'after' statistics.
Useful for monitoring tools that want to keep track of memory usage.

The ability to add/remove an AsyncListener to an object after its
creation was an artifact of trying to get AL working with the domain
module. Now that is no longer necessary and other features are going to
be implemented that would be affected by this functionality. So the code
will be removed for now to simplify the implementation process.
In the future this code will likely be reintroduced, but after some
other more important matters have been addressed.
None of this functionality was documented, as is was meant specifically
for domain specific implementation work arounds.

Before when an AsyncListener object was created and the "create"
callback returned a value, it was necessary to construct a new Object
with the same callbacks but add a place for the new storage value.
Now, instead, a separate storage array is kept on the context which is
used for any return value of the "create" callback. This significantly
reduces the number of Objects that need to be created.
Also added a flags property to the context to quickly check if a
specific callback was available either on the context or on the
AsyncListener instance itself.
Few other minor changes for readability that were difficult to separate
into their own commit.
This has not been optimized yet.
This is a slightly modified revert of bc39bdd.
Getting domains to use AsyncListeners became too much of a challenge
with many edge cases. While this is still a goal, it will have to be
deferred for now until more test coverage can be provided.
Add a 'serialNumber' property to the object that is returned by
tls.CryptoStream#getPeerCertificate(). Contains the certificate's
serial number encoded as a hex string. The format is identical to
`openssl x509 -serial -in path/to/certificate`.
Fixes#6583.
The domain module has been switched over to use the domain module API as
much as currently possible. There are still some hooks in the
EventEmitter, but hopefully we can remove those in the future.
AsyncListener is a JS API that works in tandem with the AsyncWrap class
to allow the user to be alerted to key events in the life cycle of an
asynchronous event. The AsyncWrap class has its own MakeCallback
implementation that core will be migrated to use, and uses state sharing
techniques to allow quicker communication between JS and C++ whether the
async event callbacks need to be called.
There was no need to share state between C++ and JS for these two
values. So they have been moved to their respective locations. This will
help performance only a tiny bit, but it does help code complexity much
more.
The list of supported HTTP methods is available in JS land now so there
is no longer any need to pass a stringified version of the method to the
parser callback, it can look up the method name for itself.
Saves a call to v8::Eternal::Get() in the common case and a costly
v8::String::NewFromOneByte() in the uncommon case.
Inform V8's CPU profiler when we're idle. The profiler is
sampling-based but not all samples are created equal; mark the wall
clock time spent in epoll_wait() and friends so profiling tools can
filter it out. The samples still end up in v8.log but with state=IDLE
rather than state=EXTERNAL.
This commit makes it possible to use multiple V8 execution contexts
within a single event loop. Put another way, handle and request wrap
objects now "remember" the context they belong to and switch back to
that context when the time comes to call into JS land.
This could have been done in a quick and hacky way by calling
v8::Object::GetCreationContext() on the wrap object right before
making a callback but that leaves a fairly wide margin for bugs.
Instead, we make the context explicit through a new Environment class
that encapsulates everything (or almost everything) that belongs to
the context. Variables that used to be a static or a global are now
members of the aforementioned class. An additional benefit is that
this approach should make it relatively straightforward to add full
isolate support in due course.
There is no JavaScript API yet but that will be added in the near
future.
