V8 supports native stack walking in Windows by providing JIT code
information to ETW (Event Tracing for Windows). But the option to
enable it is not exposed in NodeJS.
Just add command line (and environment variable) support for
--enable-etw-stack-walking, that maps to V8 option of the same name.

This commit adds code coverage functionality to the node:test
module. When node:test is used in conjunction with the new
--test-coverage CLI flag, a coverage report is created when
the test runner finishes. The coverage summary is forwarded to
any test runner reporters so that the display can be customized
as desired. This new functionality is compatible with the
existing NODE_V8_COVERAGE environment variable as well.
There are still several limitations, which will be addressed in
subsequent pull requests:
- Coverage is only reported for a single process. It is possible
to merge coverage reports together. Once this is done, the
--test flag will be supported as well.
- Source maps are not currently supported.
- Excluding specific files or directories from the coverage
report is not currently supported. Node core modules and
node_modules/ are excluded though.

This patch stores the metadata about the Node.js binary
into the SnapshotData and adds fields denoting how the
snapshot was generated, on what platform it was
generated as well as the V8 cached data version flag.
Instead of simply crashing when the metadata doesn't
match, Node.js now prints an error message and exit with
1 for the customized snapshot, or ignore the snapshot
and start from scratch if it's the default one.

This patch introduces `--build-snapshot` and `--snapshot-blob` options
for creating and using user land snapshots.
For the initial iteration, user land CJS modules and ESM are not yet
supported in the snapshot, so only one single file can be snapshotted
(users can bundle their applications into a single script with their
bundler of choice to build a snapshot though).
A subset of builtins should already work, and support for more builtins
are being added. This PR includes tests checking that the TypeScript
compiler and the marked markdown renderer (and the builtins they use)
can be snapshotted and deserialized.
To generate a snapshot using `snapshot.js` as entry point and write the
snapshot blob to `snapshot.blob`:
```
$ echo "globalThis.foo = 'I am from the snapshot'" > snapshot.js
$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot snapshot.js
```
To restore application state from `snapshot.blob`, with `index.js` as
the entry point script for the deserialized application:
```
$ echo "console.log(globalThis.foo)" > index.js
$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob index.js
I am from the snapshot
```
Users can also use the `v8.startupSnapshot` API to specify an entry
point at snapshot building time, thus avoiding the need of an additional
entry script at deserialization time:
```
$ echo "require('v8').startupSnapshot.setDeserializeMainFunction(() => console.log('I am from the snapshot'))" > snapshot.js
$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob --build-snapshot snapshot.js
$ node --snapshot-blob snapshot.blob
I am from the snapshot
```
Note that this patch only adds functionality to the `node` executable
for building run-time user-land snapshots, the generated snapshot is
stored into a separate file on disk. Building a single binary with both
Node.js and an embedded snapshot has already been possible with the
`--node-snapshot-main` option to the `configure` script if the user
compiles Node.js from source. It would be a different task to enable the
`node` executable to produce a single binary that contains both Node.js
and an embedded snapshot without building Node.js from source, which
should be layered on top of the SEA (Single Executable Apps) initiative.
Known limitations/bugs that are being fixed in the upstream:
- V8 hits a DCHECK when deserializing certain mutated globals, e.g.
`Error.stackTraceLimit` (it should work fine in the release build,
however): https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3319481
- Layout of V8's read-only heap can be inconsistent after
deserialization, resulting in memory corruption:

fetch (experimental):
An experimental fetch API is available on the global scope by default.
The implementation is based upon https://undici.nodejs.org/#/,
an HTTP/1.1 client written for Node.js by contributors to the project.
Through this addition, the following globals are made available: `fetch`
, `FormData`, `Headers`, `Request`, `Response`.
Disable this API with the `--no-experimental-fetch` command-line flag.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41811.
HTTP Timeouts:
`server.headersTimeout`, which limits the amount of time the parser will
wait to receive the complete HTTP headers, is now set to `60000` (60
seconds) by default.
`server.requestTimeout`, which sets the timeout value in milliseconds
for receiving the entire request from the client, is now set to `300000`
(5 minutes) by default.
If these timeouts expire, the server responds with status 408 without
forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the
connection.
Both timeouts must be set to a non-zero value to protect against
potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed
without a reverse proxy in front.

Test Runner module (experimental):

report results in TAP format. This module is only available under the
`node:` scheme.

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:
- Prebuilt binaries for Linux are now built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) 8 and are compatible with Linux distributions based on glibc
2.28 or later, for example, Debian 10, RHEL 8, Ubuntu 20.04.
- Prebuilt binaries for macOS now require macOS 10.15 or later.
- For AIX the minimum supported architecture has been raised from Power
7 to Power 8.
Prebuilt binaries for 32-bit Windows will initially not be available due
to issues building the V8 dependency in Node.js. We hope to restore
32-bit Windows binaries for Node.js 18 with a future V8 update.
Node.js does not support running on operating systems that are no longer
supported by their vendor. For operating systems where their vendor has
planned to end support earlier than April 2025, such as Windows 8.1
(January 2023) and Windows Server 2012 R2 (October 2023), support for
Node.js 18 will end at the earlier date.
Full details about the supported toolchains and compilers are documented
in the Node.js `BUILDING.md` file.

https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42666.
V8 10.1:
The V8 engine is updated to version 10.1, which is part of Chromium 101.
Compared to the version included in Node.js 17.9.0, the following new
features are included:
- The `findLast` and `findLastIndex` array methods.
- Improvements to the `Intl.Locale` API.
- The `Intl.supportedValuesOf` function.
- Improved performance of class fields and private class methods (the
initialization of them is now as fast as ordinary property stores).
The data format returned by the serialization API (`v8.serialize(value)`)
has changed, and cannot be deserialized by earlier versions of Node.js.
On the other hand, it is still possible to deserialize the previous
format, as the API is backwards-compatible.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42657.
Web Streams API (experimental):
Node.js now exposes the experimental implementation of the Web Streams
API on the global scope. This means the following APIs are now globally
available:
- `ReadableStream`, `ReadableStreamDefaultReader`,
`ReadableStreamBYOBReader`, `ReadableStreamBYOBRequest`,
`ReadableByteStreamController`, `ReadableStreamDefaultController`,
`TransformStream`, `TransformStreamDefaultController`, `WritableStream`,
`WritableStreamDefaultWriter`, `WritableStreamDefaultController`,
`ByteLengthQueuingStrategy`, `CountQueuingStrategy`, `TextEncoderStream`,
`TextDecoderStream`, `CompressionStream`, `DecompressionStream`.

docs to reflect this:
// --unhandled-rejections=strict:
// Emit 'uncaughtException'. If it's not handled, print
// the error to stderr and exit the process.
// Otherwise, emit 'unhandledRejection'. If
// 'unhandledRejection' is not
// handled, emit 'UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning'.

Display Node.js version at the end of stacktraces
on fatal exception that causes exit.
Easier for debugging so you don't have
to ask "what node version are you on?",
it is directly in the error the user
copy/paste from when asking for help.

Main changes:
- Replace current HTML anchor generation to match
header anchor generation in Github markdown.
- Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G.
`esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`).
- Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules
when concatenated for usage in `all.html`.
Benefits:
- All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work.
- Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate
the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors.
- Anchors are much shorter.
- All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy
anchors.

Notable Changes:
Diagnostics channel (experimental module):
`diagnostics_channel` is a new experimental module that provides an API
to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for
diagnostics purposes.
The module was initially introduced in Node.js v15.1.0 and is
backported to v14.17.0 to enable testing it at a larger scale.
With `diagnostics_channel`, Node.js core and module authors can publish
contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could
be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just
create a named channel with `dc.channel(name)` and call
`channel.publish(data)` to send the data to any listeners to that
channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
// Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
channel.publish({
query: queryString,
host: this.hostname,
});
this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};
```
Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into
separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is
listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to
zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using
`channel.subscribe(listener)` to run a function whenever a message is
published to that channel.
```js
const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');
channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});
```
The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is
doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting
tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging
queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source
for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the
application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

UUID support in the crypto module:
The new `crypto.randomUUID()` method now allows to generate random
[RFC 4122](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt) Version 4
UUID strings:
```js
const { randomUUID } = require('crypto');
console.log(randomUUID());

Experimental support for `AbortController` and `AbortSignal`:
Node.js 14.17.0 adds experimental partial support for `AbortController`
and `AbortSignal`.
Both constructors can be enabled globally using the
`--experimental-abortcontroller` flag.
Additionally, several Node.js APIs have been updated to support
`AbortSignal` for cancellation.
It is not mandatory to use the built-in constructors with them. Any
spec-compliant third-party alternatives should be compatible.
`AbortSignal` support was added to the following methods:
* `child_process.exec`
* `child_process.execFile`
* `child_process.fork`
* `child_process.spawn`
* `dgram.createSocket`
* `events.on`
* `events.once`
* `fs.readFile`
* `fs.watch`
* `fs.writeFile`
* `http.request`
* `https.request`
* `http2Session.request`
* The promisified variants of `setImmediate` and `setTimeout`

There is no reason to hide FIPS functionality behind build flags.
OpenSSL always provide the information about FIPS availability via
`FIPS_mode()` function.
This makes the user experience more consistent, because the OpenSSL
library is always queried and the `crypto.getFips()` always returns
OpenSSL settings.
