Constants ought to be constant. The primary goal of this commit is to
make constants exposed in require('constants') immutable, as they were
prior to node@7.0.0, and as the constants exposed on fs.constants,
crypto.constants, etc. are.
Since this is implemented by using Object.freeze, it also has the side
effect of making the entire exports of require('constants') immutable,
so no new constants can be defined on the object in userland.

lib/constants.js was incorrectly copying the constants from the
binding, by copying from `contants.os.errors` instead of
`constants.os.errno`.

The require('constants') module is currently undocumented and mashes
together unrelated constants. This refactors the require('constants')
in favor of distinct os.constants, fs.constants, and crypto.constants
that are specific to the modules for which they are relevant. The
next step is to document those within the specific modules.
